Washington, 7 April 2026 (dpa/MIA) - US President Donald Trump has threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization in a post on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday as a deadline he set for Iran to make a deal with him looms.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again," Trump posted. "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."

The United States and Israel launched their latest war on Iran on February 28. Trump's ultimatum for Iran to make a deal or face massive attacks on its energy infrastructure is set to expire on Tuesday evening (0000 GMT).
