US President Donald Trump has urged world leaders to impose a total economic isolation on Iran, stressing that he will not allow the country to possess nuclear weapons. In his speech to the UN General Assembly, Trump said he has taken action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, citing the destruction of the country's nuclear program as an example. He emphasized that the US has taken a proactive approach to addressing the threat posed by Iran.
Trump recalled that upon taking office, he initiated negotiations with Iran, offering a comprehensive economic partnership in exchange for the country's commitment to end its nuclear program and support for terrorism. However, Iran rejected the offer, which Trump described as a "catastrophic mistake." The US President also highlighted that the US has sufficient military capabilities to address any threats, dismissing claims that the country is running low on ammunition.
The US President pointed to the success of Operation "Stormy Weather," which resulted in the destruction of dozens of Iranian naval vessels, radar systems, and ballistic missiles. He also noted that the Iranian economy has been severely impacted, with inflation exceeding 300%. Trump called on UN members to stand together against Iranian terrorism, which he claimed would lead to a significant decrease in oil prices.
Trump also touched on the Gaza conflict, claiming that he ended the war in the region after only a few weeks, saving thousands of lives and securing the release of all remaining hostages. He expressed gratitude to the Security Council for endorsing the 20-point Gaza plan and forming a peace council. Trump also acknowledged the contributions of several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Bahrain, which have provided significant financial support for relief and reconstruction efforts.
The US President boasted about his success in ending eight wars, citing his ability to leverage relationships to achieve peaceful resolutions. He mentioned that he is working closely with Russian and Ukrainian leaders to end the conflict in the region. Trump also discussed his efforts to address the situation in Venezuela, where he claimed that US military intervention led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro and the release of hundreds of political prisoners.
Trump announced that the US has signed a significant oil agreement with Venezuela, covering 65 billion barrels of oil, which he described as the largest oil deal in history. He emphasized that the agreement will benefit both countries and contribute to reducing global energy costs. The US President also reaffirmed his commitment to protecting US interests in the Western Hemisphere, warning that the US will use military force if necessary to defend its national interests.
On other issues, Trump discussed his administration's efforts to bring about change in Cuba, describing the island nation as a "failed state." He also highlighted his efforts to combat drug cartels, which he described as "foreign terrorist organizations." Trump concluded his speech by emphasizing the importance of embracing new opportunities and challenges, saying that the American people have always risen to the occasion.
