U.S., Iran hold first talks since June as Trump threatens annihilation

What the coverage shows

Most outlets focus on Trump’s UN speech and his threat to “annihilate” Iran, often pairing that with his suggestion that a deal could come after the U.S. midterms. BBC News, CBS News and France 24 are among the few that also foreground the later U.S.-Iran talks, with CBS explicitly saying the two sides held their first talks since June. The Guardian US and Washington Post add separate angles on the diplomacy and domestic politics, while NPR’s item does not center the Iran story at all.
