Trump to Iran: Make a deal or face total annihilation

Original version ·

The UN General Assembly just got a lot more tense as Donald Trump laid out his binary vision for the future of the Middle East.

It’s not every day you hear a world leader present a diplomatic choice as a literal ultimatum between prosperity and complete erasure. Donald Trump took the podium at the UN and essentially told Iran they have exactly two options: cut a deal that makes them better than ever, or get annihilated. Quickly.

The rhetoric is classic Trump, but the stakes feel different after the recent strikes. He’s framing the whole thing as a personal decision he has to make, while casually mentioning that Iran is apparently waiting to see how the midterms go before doing anything serious. He also managed to take a swing at Cuba and the International Criminal Court just for good measure.

Diplomacy is officially just a high-stakes poker game where the chips are countries.
