In U.N. speech, Trump threatens to "annihilate" Iran and defends handling of global conflicts
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, President Donald Trump threatened to "annihilate" the Islamic Republic of Iran during his United Nations General Assembly address, prompting the Iranian delegation to walk out of the assembly hall.

- Beyond Iran, Trump announced plans to rebrand artificial intelligence as "superintelligence" and rejected international regulation of AI, while finalizing a security agreement that expands the U.S. military presence on Greenland.
