WASHINGTON — President Trump ominously declared that “a whole civilization will die tonight” as his 8 pm ET deadline for Iran to cut a deal or else face an onslaught of attacks against its bridges and power plants.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump grimly warned on Truth Social Tuesday.
“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?” he added. “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”
Trump’s latest threat to the Islamic Republic comes after he warned Iran’s leadership on Sunday to “Open the F—in’ Strait, you crazy b—–ds, or you’ll be living in Hell,” referring to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint, where over a fifth of the world’s seaborne oil flows through annually.
Should Iran fail to adhere to his deadline, the president threatened to make Tuesday “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one.”
Trump later told Axios that he made the threat after determining a deal was close, but then Iran “said they will meet us in five days,” which gave him doubts that Tehran was being serious.
