President Donald Trump stated that he is in the process of deciding on a response to Iran and is open to meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian at the United Nations General Assembly.
On September 20, local time, Fox News reporter Trey Yingst reported that he had just spoken with Trump, who described himself as being in "decision mode" and indicated that a significant event is likely to occur in the near future.
Yingst added that Trump mentioned possible options regarding Iran, including a military strike, economically crippling the country, or reaching an agreement. Trump remarked, "The question is when to wipe out that entire country," emphasizing that Iran must conduct itself properly.
Trump also suggested that he is "probably open" to meeting with President Pezeshkian at the UN General Assembly.
These comments from Trump appear to raise the possibility of a major attack on Iran while also keeping the door open for a face-to-face meeting with Pezeshkian, thereby pressuring Iran for an agreement.
Meanwhile, President Pezeshkian is scheduled to attend the UN General Assembly this week and will deliver a speech on September 23. Trump is also set to speak at the assembly on September 22, drawing attention to the potential for high-level contact between the U.S. and Iran amid ongoing tensions.
