SHAFAQNA- Donald Trump used his speech at the General Assembly to attack Iran, repeating his baseless accusations against Iran’s civilian nuclear and ballistic missile programs, as well as Tehran’s support for the people in the war-ravaged countries of Syria and Yemen.
Well, Trump’s speech was consistent in its content, but was a big departure from the energetic, rambling speeches he usually deploys. Instead, his delivery was slow and monotone.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to tighten sanctions against Iran during his third address to the United Nations, accusing the Islamic Republic of “menacing behavior” in the Middle East.
“As long as Iran’s menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. They will be tightened,” Trump said Tuesday at the 74th session of the US General Assembly in New York.
Trump thinks Iran needs to stop threatening other countries and to “put the Iranian people first.” (reminder: Trump threatened to destroy North Korea in his first UN address in 2017) , theguardian told.
The US president also continued to criticize the 2015 nuclear agreement that he withdrew from last year.
Trump’s speech follows escalating tensions in the Middle East following attacks on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities. Trump accused Iran of carrying out the attacks.
Iran has rejected again claims of involvement in Yemen’s retaliatory attacks on the kingdom’s heart of oil industry, press tv reported.
