UK Daily Mail "Donald Trump unleashed broadside after broadside against Iran on Tuesday at the United Nations, warning that the 'rogue state' is still racing toward the completion of a nuclear weapon that would destabilize the entire Middle East.
" 'Major portions of the world are in conflict, and some in fact are going to hell,' he said, in a speech to the General Assembly that included direct attacks on Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba.
"The Obama administration entered into an agreement with Tehran and five other world powers in 2016, which it said would prevent Iran's rise as a nuclear military power."

Where did they go? Seats allocated to North Korea were empty
during the speech. One junior diplomatic aide stayed behind to hear
Trump but sat elsewhere.

. . . "He also attacked Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria.
"But his stinging condemnation of North Korea hung heaviest in the air as Kim Jong-Un's authoritarian government continues a path toward building a nuclear missile.
"Tho[s]e ambitions have already led to two rounds of economic sanctions via the UN Security Council.
"Trump also blasted Kim for running a country beset where poverty and torture are the norm.
" 'No one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well-being of their own people than the depraved regime in North Korea,' he said.
" 'It is responsible for the starvation deaths of millions of North Koreans. And for the imprisonment, torture, killing and oppression of countless more.' "
