Just as with North Korea last time around, Trump’s attacks come as he seeks to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran. The president’s rhetoric toward Iran has echoed the threats, insults and occasional diplomatic overtures he used ahead of negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program earlier this year. He vowed to impose more economic sanctions against Iran and called for the country’s international isolation. President Donald Trump on Tuesday attacked Iran in a heated speech at the United Nations General Assembly, in what sounded like an update of an address he made one year ago at the same venue railing against North Korea. Trump may be looking for a similar deal with Iran.
