In a dramatic and fiery Truth Social post, President Donald Trump issued a stark warning about imminent events in Iran, stating that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He suggested that complete regime change in Tehran could lead to a better future for the Iranian people.
Trump’s Full Truth Social Statement:
“A whole civilization 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 radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, who knows? 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!”
The post comes as military tensions reach a boiling point, with intensified Israeli and US strikes across Iran, including recent powerful explosions reported in Shiraz and other cities.
Context of Trump’s Warning
Trump’s statement follows:
- Iran’s “maximalist” 10-point response to the US peace proposal, including demands for Strait of Hormuz passage fees.
- Recent Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars petrochemical facilities and attacks on Shiraz.
- Iranian retaliation, including reported strikes on Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia.
- Trump’s earlier deadline for Iran to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The timing suggests Trump may be preparing the public for a major military operation aimed at crippling the current Iranian regime.
