According to the Associated Press, President Donald Trump issued the severe threat with approximately 12 hours remaining until his deadline. He demanded that Iran agree to a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise it would face severe strikes. Trump wrote on his social media platform 'Truth Social': 'An entire civilization will perish tonight, and never be restored.' He added: 'I don't want to see this happen, but it very well might.' However, Trump's statement still leaves an opening, saying 'perhaps some revolutionary good things will happen.' (Compiled by: Yang Chao-yen) 1150407
