Trump Says ‘A Whole Civilization Will Die tonight’ if Iran Does Not Make a Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump once again exhorted Iran to make a deal by his Tuesday deadline, saying a “whole civilization will die tonight” if an agreement is not reached to end the conflict.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.”
