This is not what you want to be on the opposite end of. On Tuesday morning, the President made one of his most intense threats to Iran yet and warned: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Trump’s threat comes as he previously warned Iran that on Tuesday, the U.S. military will bomb power plants and bridges if the regime does not open the Strait of Hormuz. CNBC reported more on Trump’s post: President Donald Trump on Tuesday sharply ramped up his threats against Iran, warning “a whole civilization will die tonight” unless the country’s leadership strikes a deal that involves reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The threat came after U.S. forces overnight struck military targets on Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, a White House official confirmed to CNBC. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump wrote Tuesday morning on Truth Social. “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?” he wrote. “We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World.” BREAKING: Trump warns 'whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' if Iran doesn't agree to deal to end war pic.twitter.com/1PyIR5kM6J — Fox News (@FoxNews) April 7, 2026 Here’s what Vice President JD Vance has to say about Iran: Iran will no longer be allowed to harm the global economy with their terroristic intentions.@VP JD Vance speaks on Iran from Budapest, Hungary. pic.twitter.com/IWzVPExveK — The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 7, 2026
