United States President Donald Trump has once again urged Iran to reach an agreement before his Tuesday deadline, warning that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if a deal is not reached to end the ongoing conflict.
Trump made the threat in a post shared on his Truth Social page on Tuesday.
“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.
“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?
“We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world. Forty-seven years of extortion, corruption and death will finally end. God bless the great people of Iran!”
Trump had threatens to strike civilian infrastructure targets across Iran if the regime refuses to allow free passage through the Strait of Hormuz by 20:00 EDT on Tuesday (01:00 BST Wednesday).
