Trump tells assembly: 'I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon' and urges economic isolation

President Donald Trump framed Iran as a primary global threat and said the United States would not allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon. "I will never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon," he said, recounting earlier negotiations and claiming a sequence of military operations that, he said, degraded Iran's capabilities.

He urged nations to maintain pressure and "join us in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions, and cease their support of terror." He also thanked the Security Council for a widely co-sponsored resolution condemning attacks on shipping. The transcript records these claims but contains no recorded responses or independent corroboration of the military and casualty figures cited by the President.
