THE TELEGRAPH: Donald Trump has declared that Iran’s “whole civilisation will die tonight” if it does not make a deal to end the war.
The US president said that “one of the most important moments in the history of the world” would take place this evening. His deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or see its power plants and bridges destroyed, expires at 8pm EST (1am BST).
“A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again. 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 radicalised minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added: “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.”
In an apparent show of his intent, the US struck Iran’s Kharg Island, the regime’s economic lifeline which handles 90 per cent of its oil exports.
Israel, meanwhile, killed at least two people in strikes on a railway bridge in the city of Kashan in Isfahan province. » | Robert White. Iona Cleave | Tuesday, April 7, 2026
The rantings of a MADMAN! Nobody can help Trump now, so he should be sectioned and locked up for good. The man DISGUSTS me as he does all decent people. — © Mark Alexander
