What happened
During his address at the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump discussed either reaching a deal with Iran or annihilating the country. As he spoke about military strikes, the Iranian delegation walked out of the General Assembly hall. Separately, Trump restricted media access to CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, leading those outlets to file lawsuits against him.

Why it matters
Trump's speech reinforced the existing American position, calling for the economic isolation of Iran and threatening greater destruction if an agreement is not reached. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy reported escorting more than 1 billion barrels of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz.
