Trump issues dire warning to Iran as deadline looms
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” President Donald Trump warned the Iranian regime as the clock ticks toward the 8 p.m. Eastern time deadline Tuesday for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, 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?” the president continued. “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
Trump’s warning comes as multiple reports indicate the U.S. targeted several Iranian military sites on Kharg Island, striking ammunition storage, radars and bunkers on the vital Iranian island. The island, located in the Persian Gulf off the southwest coast of Iran, hosts up to 90% of the nation’s oil exports.
The president has been issuing stern warnings to the Islamic Republic over the past week as Trump gave Iran a 10-day deadline to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
In response to the threats, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said that “restraint is over,” telling the U.S. not to cross “red lines.”
