US President Donald Trump has issued another warning toward Iran, suggesting that the coming hours could be decisive in the ongoing tensions.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump used stark language to describe what he framed as a potentially historic moment. While he said he does not want escalation, he indicated that significant developments could unfold imminently.
“A whole civilisation could die tonight… I don’t want that to happen, but it could,” he wrote, adding that the outcome would become clear later in the evening.
His remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, including pressure on Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and move toward ending the current confrontation.
Trump also appeared to hint at the possibility of political change in Iran, referring to the potential end of decades of “corruption and conflict.” However, these claims have not been independently verified and have not been echoed by other officials.
There has been no immediate response from Iranian authorities, and the situation remains fluid as developments continue to unfold.
