Trump says he is in 'deciding mode' on Iran: 'if and when do I blow the entire nation up?'

Trump told Fox News he is in a 'deciding mode' and that 'very big things are going to be happening in the not-so-distant future,' framing the options as 'wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal,' and said he would probably be open to meeting President Pezeshkian at the UN.

Why this matters. His threats and openness to a meeting set up the UN General Assembly week as a pivot point for escalation or talks.
