\nUNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Latest on the United States and Iran (all times local):
2:35 p.m.
U. S. national security adviser John Bolton will warn Iran of \u201chell to pay\u201d and \u201cserious consequences\u201d if it defies the U. S.
Bolton was to deliver a speech Tuesday in New York featuring rhetoric that is tough even by the standards of an administration hostile to Tehran. The speech is hosted by an organization that opposed the 2015 nuclear deal that the Trump administration withdrew from earlier this year.
He calls the deal the \u201cworst diplomatic debacle in American history\u201d and says it failed to curb Iran \u2019s nuclear weapons program in the speech that coincides with the annual U. N. General Assembly.
Bolton says the \u201cmurderous regime and its supporters will face significant consequences if they do not change their behavior\u201d and there will be \u201chell to pay\u201d if Iran harms U. S. citizens or its allies.

1:40 p.m.
President Donald Trump has singled out Iran for particularly harsh criticism in his annual address to world leaders at the U. N.
Trump blasted what he called the \u201ccorrupt dictatorship\u201d of Iran and accused the government in Tehran of spreading \u201cmayhem\u201d across the Middle East and around the world. He called out Iran \u2019s \u201cbloody agenda\u201d in Syria and Yemen in particular.
No other country faced as much criticism in his speech Tuesday.
Trump vowed the U. S. would continue to isolate Iran through sanctions that are being re-instated following Trump\u2019s withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
Trump\u2019s comments followed a Tweet in which he said that wouldn\u2019t meet Iran \u2019s President Hassan Rouhani on the sidelines of the General Assembly although he added he was sure Rouhani \u201cis an absolutely lovely man!\u201d<\/p>\n
