France broke promise on halting trigger of snapback mechanism, Larijani says

"I sent the so-called Supreme Leader a letter making a generous offer. I extended a pledge of full cooperation in exchange for a suspension of Iran's nuclear program. The regime's answer was to continue their constant threats," US President Donald Trump told the United Nations on Tuesday.

"Many of Iran's former military commanders, in fact, I can say almost all of them are no longer with us. They're dead, and three months ago, in operation Midnight Hammer, seven American B-2 bombers dropped the fourteen 30,000 pound-each bombs on Iran's key nuclear facilities, totally obliterating everything," he added.

"We hate to use them, but we did something that for 22 years people wanted to do. With Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity demolished, I immediately brokered an end to the 12-day war, as it's called, between Israel and Iran, with both sides agreeing to fight no longer."

"I ended seven wars, and in all cases, they were raging, with countless thousands of people being killed," US President Donald Trump told the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

"This includes Cambodia and Thailand, Kosovo and Serbia, the Congo and Rwanda - a vicious, violent war - Pakistan and India, Israel and Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia and Armenia and Azerbaijan," he added.

"It included all of them, no president or prime minister, and for that matter, no other country has ever done anything close to that. And I did it in just seven months. It's never happened before."

Iran’s top security official Ali Larijani said on Tuesday the United States had proposed reducing the range of Tehran's missiles to less than 500 kilometers, which he called unacceptable.

“In the initial US proposal, a condition was raised that no honorable person would accept – reducing the missile range to less than 500 kilometers. Is such a thing acceptable for an Iranian?” Larijani said.

“The problem lies precisely here, that they raise unacceptable demands,” he added.
