Trump Warns Iran of ‘Severe Consequences’ as He Calls for Deal to End Middle East War
NEW YORK: US President Donald Trump used his address to the United Nations General Assembly to issue a stark warning to Iran, saying Washington could take extremely severe action if Tehran does not agree to a deal aimed at ending the ongoing Middle East conflict.
Trump said the United States faced a difficult choice over how far to go against Iran, while also arguing that a diplomatic agreement could still be reached.
He suggested that negotiations could become more possible following the US midterm elections in November, leaving open the possibility of a diplomatic path to reduce tensions.
Trump’s remarks come as the wider Middle East remains under intense geopolitical pressure, with the conflict continuing to affect regional security, energy markets and international diplomacy.
The comments are expected to draw further attention at the UN, where governments are closely watching efforts to prevent the conflict from expanding and to find a diplomatic route toward de-escalation.
