US President Donald Trump slammed Iran at the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), on Tuesday, September 24, where he called the current regime as one of the "greatest security threats" for peace-loving nations. Trump explained that no responsible country should subsidize Iran’s blood lust. He called on the countries around the world to tighten the noose around Iran’s economy with more sanctions.

And at the same time, the regime is squandering the nation's wealth and future in a fanatical quest for nuclear weapons', Trump declared. He further added that Iranian leaders conduct ritual chants for the death of America.
