Trump Warns Iran: "A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight"
President Trump has issued a stark, expanded threat to Iran. He warned that the entire nation faces destruction if its leaders do not meet his deadline.
The demand is for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday night. This critical waterway is a major route for global oil shipments.
The President stated that failure to comply would mean, in his words, "a whole civilization will die tonight." This escalates previous warnings focused on military targets.
The ultimatum increases tension in the region. The Strait has been a flashpoint, with Iran previously threatening to block it.
No further details were given on what specific actions might follow if the deadline passes. The international community is watching for Iran's response.
