IRAN - President Donald Trump warned that "a whole civilization will die" in Iran on Tuesday if the country does not heed his ultimatum to...

accept US war demands. "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 on his Truth Social platform. Trump did not give details but he has already said the US military could bomb Iran's bridges, power plants and other civilian infrastructure into the "stone age." Trump has announced a deadline of midnight GMT Tuesday for Iran to end its de facto closing of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow, strategic waterway used to transport oil and other commodities. On Monday, he said a temporary cease-fire proposal being circulated was insufficient. Iran has rejected US pressure, with state media reporting that the authorities are insisting that instead of just a cease-fire it wants a full end to the war. In his Truth Social post, Trump left the door open for a last-hour agreement. "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," he wrote. (Bssnews)
