Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' in latest Iran threat
President Donald Trump issued a broad threat against Iran on Tuesday morning, as his Tuesday evening deadline loomed for Tehran to fully reopen of the Strait of Hormuz.
"A whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote on his social media platform. It was not immediately clear what the president was referring to. Trump has repeatedly threatened punitive strikes against critical Iranian infrastructure.
"However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?" Trump also wrote.
"We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!" the president said.
