WASHINGTON, Apr 7: U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning on Tuesday, saying “a whole civilization will die tonight” while intensifying pressure on Iran ahead of a reported deadline for a nuclear and security-related agreement.
In a post on his social media platform, Trump said Iran still had time to “capitulate” and agree to terms that reportedly include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, warning of severe consequences if no deal is reached.
“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” he wrote, adding that “maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen.”
In a separate message, Trump said, “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world,” calling the situation “one of the most important moments” globally.
He also escalated his rhetoric by raising the prospect of “complete and total regime change,” while accusing decades of “extortion, corruption, and death” linked to Iran.
