Trump warns Iran at UN he may 'drive them into hell,' says US 'settling years of unfinished business'
President Trump called on United Nations members to support the US war effort against Iran as he floated a dramatic military escalation that would "drive them into hell."
Trump received applause from foreign dignitaries for his pledge to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon after delivering the shocking threat, saying he was "settling years of unfinished business."
"I have a big decision to make: Will a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, maybe one of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world?" the president said in his 38-minute address.
