Trump threatens Iran with 'hell' but unveils fresh talks

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

President Donald Trump told the United Nations on Tuesday he was deciding whether to "annihilate" Iran -- before revealing that US and Iranian officials had held talks for the first time in months. Trump's carrot-and-stick approach came as he delivered a bombastic speech to the UN General Assembly in New York focused heavily on his stalled, unpopular war against the Islamic Republic.
