What happened, for context

US President Donald Trump addressed the UN General Assembly on 22 September 2026, defending his war with Iran and presenting two options: negotiating a deal or 'annihilating' Iran. He predicted a deal would be struck after the November midterm elections and said Iran was stalling to see how he performs electorally.

  • Whether Trump's opening remarks focused primarily on domestic issues or foreign affairsstated by nbcmiami.com states Trump 'opened his remarks Tuesday to the international community with more of a campaign stump-style speech, largely overlooking foreign affairs to focus on his domestic track record' · absent from scmp.com describes the speech as seeking 'to justify his war with Iran' and notes 'a significant part of his speech' was spent on this justification, with less emphasis on the characterization as stump-style
