"A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will, said Trump on his TruthSocial on Tuesday."
"The original ultimatum was made by Trump on Saturday, when he demanded that Iran make a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, or face an assault on key infrastructure."
"Legal experts say targeting civilian infrastructure could amount to a war crime."
"Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared less certain when asked if Trump was prepared to use a nuclear weapon, stating only the President knows where things stand."
Trump's ultimatum to Iran includes a threat of massive military action if a deal is not reached by a specified deadline. He used alarming language, stating that a whole civilization could perish. The White House denied any intention to use nuclear weapons, but comments from Vice President Vance suggested potential military options. Legal experts warned that targeting civilian infrastructure could constitute a war crime. The Iranian government responded defiantly to Trump's threats, indicating a tense standoff.
