United States President Donald Trump has again called on Iran to reach an agreement ahead of his Tuesday deadline, warning of devastating consequences if a deal is not secured to halt the ongoing conflict.
In a post shared on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump cautioned that an entire civilization could be wiped out if tensions escalate further.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” he wrote.
He added, “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 earlier threatened to target civilian infrastructure in Iran if authorities fail to guarantee free passage through the Strait of Hormuz by 20:00 EDT on Tuesday (01:00 BST Wednesday).
