U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a stark warning, saying “a whole civilization will die tonight” as tensions escalate with Iran.
The statement was made in a social media post at a time of heightened strain between the two sides, with growing concerns over potential military escalation. Trump also referenced the possibility of “complete and total regime change,” suggesting a major turning point could be imminent.
The developments come amid increased focus on the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic global oil transit route, where any disruption could have wide-ranging economic consequences.
The situation remains fluid, with international attention fixed on how events will unfold in the coming hours.
