Trump urges nations to enforce economic isolation of Iran in UN speech

US President Donald Trump called on nations to unite in enforcing the complete economic isolation of Iran during a speech at the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2026. He stated, "I call on all nations to help to enforce the complete economic isolation of Iran." Trump emphasized that unity among nations would lead to a reduction in global energy prices and an end to what he described as a 51-year menace of Iranian terror. He also defended his administration's foreign policy and the decision to strike Iran, claiming that oil prices would decrease significantly as a result of these actions.
