President Trump warned Iran on social media that its “whole civilization will die tonight” if leaders in Tehran don’t strike a deal to cease hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday evening — a rhetorical escalation that reflects the president’s eagerness to end a war that has engulfed the Middle East for more than five weeks.
It’s unclear whether Trump — who has backed down from several ultimatums over the last month — will follow through.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” the president wrote on Tuesday morning. “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”
Trump added that he hoped “different, smarter, and less radicalized minds” within the regime would “prevail” and that “maybe something revolutionarily wonderful” would happen instead.
In a statement on social media, the prime minister of Pakistan urged Trump extend his Tuesday night deadline by another two weeks “to allow diplomacy to run its course.”
