“Very good meeting”, Trump added. “I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to. It's greatness, potential greatness, or obliteration”.
Earlier on Tuesday, the 80-year-old Republican president delivered a combative speech at the UN, during which he said he could “annihilate” the Iranian government and “drive them into hell” if a peace deal is not reached.
He said that Tehran is now “weak and desperate”, adding: “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon”.
The Iranian delegation is reported to have walked out of the meeting upon hearing the threats, according to The Independent’s White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg.
Iran has said it is willing to reopen the beleaguered Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US lifts military pressure and the blockade on Iranian ports, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Tuesday.

Analysis: Trump’s UN speech went from campaigning to denial — and then it took a dark turn
Nobody had high hopes for Trump’s speech at the UN General Assembly, and as the president ambled out to the lectern and tiredly began ranting about how “I can report to you with pride that America is back and our country is better than ever before,” most diplomats and journalists alike settled in for a proto-rally.
The vintage Trumpian claims came thick and fast. “Our economy is the envy of the world,” he told the gathered world leaders, who looked decidedly unenvious. “We are leading in virtually everything,” he added, as though the prime ministers and presidents of Canada and France and the U.K. and South Korea were actually going to applaud it, much less believe it.
