US Warns Iran at UN: "All Options On Table" Despite Trump's Softer Tone

• US Ambassador Mike Waltz warned Iran at the UN Security Council that "all options are on the table" to stop the "slaughter" of protesters, despite President Trump's recent softer stance.
• Iran's Deputy UN Ambassador Gholamhossein Darzi accused the US of misinformation and interference, stating any aggression would be met with a "decisive, proportionate, and lawful response."
• Russia's UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia criticized the US for using the UNSC meeting to justify interference and threats against Iran.
• President Trump had adopted a wait-and-see approach, citing assurances that killings were easing and large-scale executions would not proceed, but military action remains an option.
• Gulf allies (Egypt, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu urged Trump against strikes, fearing regional instability, while the US imposed new sanctions on Iranian officials for suppressing protests.

Why It Matters: US maintains a tough stance against Iran at the UN, despite Trump's softened rhetoric, while Gulf allies urge caution.
