Trump Posts Threat to Annihilate Iranian Civilization on Truth Social
President Trump posted on Truth Social warning that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' regarding Iran, threatening to annihilate over 90 million people unless Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm EDT. The statement came after previous threats to carry out 'complete demolition' of Iran's power plants and bridges. Amnesty International's Secretary General called it 'a staggering level of cruelty and disregard for human life,' while Democrats condemned it as a threat to commit war crimes. International law experts stated the threat violates multiple international norms, with concerns raised about potential genocide and atrocity crimes.
