Trump Threatens to ‘Annihilate’ Iran
Briefed in the Morning News edition of Thursday, 24 September 2026
What was discussed
Trump threatens Iran at UN General Assembly3:00
- Donald Trumpclip
The U.S. will either make a deal with Iran or annihilate the Islamic Republic quickly. A deal with Iran will be made right after the election because it doesn't make sense for them not to.
- Mary Bruceassertion
The war is now seven months in, widening in the region, and still has no clear end in sight despite Trump's earlier prediction it would last four to six weeks. The war is deeply unpopular at home, with oil and gas reaching historic highs and some Republicans in competitive races calling for it to end.
- Donald Trumpclip
His team had a three-hour meeting with the Iranian delegation at the General Assembly, which he described as very good.
Trump signs Greenland security agreement with Denmark5:29
- Donald Trumpclip
The security agreement is tremendous for Europe, the United States, and Greenland, and will be incredible.
- Mary Bruceassertion
The agreement cements a pre-existing U.S. security presence in Greenland and may be an effort to calm Trump's calls for the territory to become part of the U.S.
Lindsay Clancy defense seeks to question holdout juror7:47
- Aaron Koterskyassertion
The defense alleges the holdout juror had doubts about Clancy's guilt but refused to apply the law of reasonable doubt, and was scrolling on his phone during deliberations.
- Michael Desronvilleclip
He did not have any doubts, felt cut off during deliberations, and believed prosecutors proved the case.
- Michael Desronville's attorneyclip
The defense's request to question the juror and examine his phone records is disgusting, dangerous, and would undermine the jury system.
- Kevin Reddingtonclip
The judge should terminate the case now because Clancy proved she was suffering from psychosis, and retrying her would amount to double jeopardy.
Looksmaxing influencer Clavicular charged with rape20:22
- Ashen Singhassertion
Clavicular is a 20-year-old cultural leader of the looksmaxing movement who advocates for unsafe practices like bone smashing and peptide use, which medical professionals say are ridiculous, unsafe, and ineffective.
- Braden Peters (Clavicular)clip
The charges are attempts by people to come for his money and attack him because he is a successful young man, and greed is evil.
- Ashen Singhassertion
The looksmaxing movement is founded on the idea of male victimization and that society is categorically unfair to men, which statistics and reporting suggest is the opposite.
- Ashen Singhspeculation
It remains to be seen what will come to light regarding the charges and how the looksmaxing movement will respond, though apologists will likely defend him.
McDonald's Monopoly game returns with debt-focused prizes24:30
- Brad Milkieassertion
The original promotion ended 25 years ago after an employee stole winning stickers and gave them to friends, including members of the Colombo crime family. The new prizes include $50,000 for a house down payment or student debt, reflecting that housing is twice as difficult to afford and $50,000 now barely covers a couple semesters of college.
- Brad Milkieopinion
Monopoly is many kids' first introduction to how cruel capitalism can be, making debt-relief prizes a fittingly sad but poetic update.
