Trump issues fresh warning to Iran, says 'a whole civilisation will die tonight'

US President Donald Trump issued a final warning ahead of a peace deadline, stating, 'a whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again.' Trump suggested that while destruction is likely, a 'complete and total regime change' involving 'smarter and less radicalised minds' could lead to something 'revolutionary'. He described the moment as one of the most important in world history, asserting that '47 years of extortion, corruption and death will finally end'. While backchannel efforts involve figures like JD Vance and Jared Kushner, and countries like Pakistan act as messengers, the situation remains tense. Iran has reportedly proposed a fee for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz to recover damages, while the US exerts maximum pressure for a regime change.
