Iran’s delegation walked out of the United Nations General Assembly after US President Donald Trump threatened to “annihilate” the country if a deal was not reached, Punch Nigeria reports. The departure followed Trump’s warning, which linked the threat to the failure to reach an agreement. The supplied material does not specify the subject of the proposed deal or the conditions being discussed.

It also does not state when the walkout occurred during the assembly session, who led Iran’s delegation or whether representatives from other countries responded. The incident reflects a sharp exchange at the UN gathering, but the available information does not provide further detail about the diplomatic consequences. There is no account of an Iranian statement explaining the delegation’s decision.

The report likewise does not say whether negotiations continued after the walkout. The immediate facts supplied are that Trump issued the threat and Iran’s delegation left the General Assembly in response.
