Trump threatens Iran again. "I have to decide whether to destroy the whole country or make a deal"

Correspondent of Fox News Trey Yingst reported what Trump told him in a phone conversation. The US President stated that he is in a "decision mode" and has three options: "whether and when to destroy the whole country, let them rot economically, or decide to make a deal". Trump had repeatedly previously threatened destructive attacks, including on power plants and bridges, which would destroy the whole country or "all civilization". A few days ago, there was another exchange of fire. American forces attacked Iranian tankers in the Persian Gulf, Tehran responded with an attack on the American base in Jordan. When asked whether he would meet with the President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian, who will lead the Iranian delegation during the general debate at the UN General Assembly, Trump replied that "he would probably be open to it". So far, only Trump's meetings with the First Lady of Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Andy Burnham, and the Prime Minister of Japan Sanae Takaichi and the leaders of the Gulf states have been announced. The US President unexpectedly returned to Washington from Camp David on Saturday evening (September 19), even though he was originally scheduled to stay there until Sunday. This led to speculation about a possible imminent escalation of the conflict with Iran or an operation against the Yemeni Houthi rebels, who are attacking Saudi Arabia, in conjunction with warnings issued by American embassies to citizens in the Middle East. Trump, however, stressed that this weekend is no different from others. On Sunday morning, Trump went to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, near Washington. During the trip from Camp David, golfers Gary Player and Bryson DeChambeau accompanied him. Source: PAP
