'Do I Annihilate Them?': Trump Hints At Iran Deal After US Midterms, Urges Countries To Isolate Tehran

Trump presented several options for Iran, ranging from allowing the country to rebuild to its complete annihilation, according to a News18 World report. He also hinted that a deal with Tehran could be possible after the US midterm elections.

The options were announced without details on what rebuilding Iran would involve or how the more severe alternative would be carried out. Trump did not specify conditions for an agreement, a timetable or the measures countries would be expected to take to isolate Tehran.

The headline also highlighted Trump’s call for countries to isolate Tehran, adding an international dimension to his remarks. The available summary does not identify the countries addressed or describe any proposed steps. It also does not include Iran’s response.

Trump’s comments come as attention turns to the US midterm elections. His suggestion of a possible deal after the vote leaves open the prospect of a change in approach, while the mention of complete annihilation underscores the severity of the alternatives he presented.

What to watch: Whether Trump clarifies his options for Iran and pursues a deal after the US midterm elections.
