Donald Trump's speech at the 81st UN General Assembly included a shocking threat to annihilate Iran, a move that has drawn comparisons to past bellicosity from superpower leaders. The US president also made controversial statements regarding Cuba, Venezuela, and the International Criminal Court, while praising traditional allies and announcing a new focus on 'super intelligence'.
