Trump Threatens Iran with Total Destruction as Deadline Looms

Washington: US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to eliminate Iran. Writing in his characteristic style on Truth Social, he stated: "Tonight, an entire civilization will be wiped out."

This threat comes as the deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz expires tonight. Trump has been consistently threatening ground operations against Iran. Meanwhile, Iran has also warned that its patience has run out and that it will target the US and its allies.

Previously, during a press conference at the White House, Trump reiterated his threat to destroy Iran's energy plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened. He had remarked that Iran could be "wiped out in a single night."

He warned that if Iran does not reach an agreement with the US before the deadline, military action could occur at any time. This is Tuesday night. At the White House, Trump mentioned that Iranian leaders are in talks, but it remains unclear whether any deal will be reached. Meanwhile, Iran has rejected the proposal for a temporary ceasefire.

What did Trump write on Truth Social?

Trump wrote, "Tonight, an entire civilization will be wiped out, never to be brought back. I do not want this to happen, but perhaps it will. However, now that we have a complete change of power here—where different, more sensible, and less radical people are in charge—perhaps something truly spectacular and revolutionary can happen. Who knows? We will know tonight. This is one of the most important moments in the world's long and complex history. The 47-year cycle of coercion, corruption, and death will finally end. May God bless the great people of Iran!"
