Briefings
In September 2026, US President Trump announced a major decision to potentially annhilate Iran at the UN General Assembly, surpassing even the ghost of Soviet leader Khrushchev in his intensity. Eleven minutes into a 40-minute address, Trump declared he had a 'big decision to make' regarding Iran, which had demonstrated a more determined resistance than Trump anticipated when he decided to go to war against the country in February. The evidence indicates Trump's threat is unprecedented for him, yet the specific nature of the decision and the timeline of the decision remain unclear.
