During an interaction with a Fox News reporter, Trump said: “Iran’s leaders should make a deal, rot economically, or be wiped out.” However, the US President added that he would be open to meeting Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian, who is poised to be in New York this week for the United Nations General Assembly.  Iran warns of retaliation against US bases The Islamic Republic responded, saying it would retaliate harshly if the US military launches any fresh strikes. Iran’s military commander had said earlier that any fresh aggression from Washington would trigger sustained retaliation against US bases and interests, and that America’s regional allies would be considered a party in the war, Reuters reported.     © IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd Expand  (https://indianexpress.com/agency/express-global-desk/)  Express Global Desk    The Express Global Desk at indianexpress.com which delivers authoritative, verified, and context-driven coverage of key international developments shaping global politics, policy, and migration trends.
