NEW YORK: U.S. President Donald Trump says all nations have a duty to act against Iran and “no responsible government should subsidize Iran’s bloodlust.”
Trump notes the U.S. has imposed the highest level of sanctions on Iran and says as long as Iran’s “menacing behavior continues” sanctions will not be lifted and instead will be tightened.
Trump spoke Tuesday to world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly. He says Iran’s leaders have lashed out at others for 40 years for the problems that they alone have created.
His comments take place against the backdrop of flaring tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis say Iran was responsible for an attack earlier this month on two oil facilities in the kingdom, which Iran denies.
