US President Donald Trump used his September 22 address on Tuesday to the 81st UN General Assembly to defend the US war against Iran and oppose Tehran obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump warned that he could “annihilate” the Islamic Republic if Iran refused a deal, while saying he believed Washington and Tehran could eventually reach an agreement after the November midterm elections. He called for international economic pressure on Iran to push it toward negotiations. Trump also cited praise from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif while discussing his claims about preventing conflicts. The Iranian delegation walked out during Trump’s address as diplomatic efforts continued and Tehran signalled some openness to negotiations.

US President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed a trilateral agreement allowing a greater US military presence in Greenland. The deal stops short of Trump’s demand for US control of the strategically located Arctic territory, while addressing security concerns amid increased Russian and Chinese activity. Trump said the agreement gives Washington “permanent control” over security and other needs, and barred US adversaries from military presence or sensitive investments without American approval. Denmark and Greenland said the arrangement respects sovereignty and Greenland’s right to self-determination. The agreement is expected to expand US military infrastructure, including additional sites, while reinforcing NATO’s role in the Arctic. (PC: Reuters)

World leaders worldwide are arriving in New York for the 81st United Nations General Assembly amid escalating wars, uncertainty and shifting power. The Middle East conflict has expanded across the region following a US-Israeli attack on Tehran, closing a waterway. Meanwhile, the four-year Russia-Ukraine war continues without signs of diplomatic resolution. Other crises include an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia, and flash floods in Nepal and Tibet, raising concerns over pandemics and climate change. Diplomats say international law, mediation and consensus face challenges. Trump, Zelenskyy and Pezeshkian are expected to draw attention, while officials seek openings on maritime security and AI.

US President Donald Trump, addressing the 81st United Nations General Assembly on September 22, said Iran faced a choice between reaching a deal with Washington and what he called “annihilation” of the Islamic Republic. Trump said he believed an agreement could be reached after the November 3 US midterm elections, arguing Tehran was waiting to see the election outcome. He urged countries to join the United States in economically isolating Iran to pressure it into negotiations. Trump defended US military action against Iran, saying it had prevented Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Reuters reported that Iran had signalled interest in reviving negotiations, while officials said Washington remained open to talks.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the Kashmir issue during his address to the 81st United Nations General Assembly, saying disputes including Kashmir should be addressed through dialogue within the framework of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions. Erdogan said dialogue should guide efforts to address disputes in South Asia. His remarks marked another occasion on which he has referred to Kashmir during his UNGA speeches. In 2025, Erdogan had also called for resolving the Kashmir issue through dialogue and UN resolutions. India had previously rejected such involvement, maintaining that Kashmir is a bilateral matter between India and Pakistan. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said there was no need for third-party mediation on bilateral issues between the two countries.

India on Tuesday urged Pakistan to take “credible action” against cross-border terrorism, saying statements alone were insufficient to demonstrate Islamabad’s commitment. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Pakistan must show concrete action before the world believes its claims about fighting terrorism. His remarks followed Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir’s assertion that the country’s armed forces remained determined to defeat terrorism. Jaiswal also strongly condemned Pakistan’s airstrikes on Afghanistan’s Kunar and Paktika provinces, saying several civilians were killed and expressing condolences for those who died. He said such aggression against a sovereign neighbour undermined regional peace and security. India reaffirmed support for Afghanistan’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and the welfare of its people.

US President Donald Trump reiterated at the United Nations General Assembly that his administration helped halt the 2025 India-Pakistan confrontation surrounding India’s Operation Sindoor. Trump claimed that US diplomatic intervention prevented a conflict and said it “saved 30 million lives.” He presented the intervention as part of his foreign-policy record and a broader effort to prevent wars through diplomacy and pressure. The remarks repeated his earlier assertions that Washington played a decisive role in de-escalating tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours. Trump’s comments were made while highlighting what he described as his administration’s peacekeeping achievements. The claim remains Trump’s own assertion about the potential human cost and US role in the confrontation.
