A civilisation will die in Iran if deal not accepted, says Trump on ‘deadline’ day
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened that “a whole civilisation will die” if Iran does not accept his deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz before his 8 p.m. Eastern Time (5.30 a.m. on Wednesday in India) deadline. Tehran, in turn, issued a warning that its response would deprive the U.S. and its allies of oil and gas for years.U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance, who is in Hungary, said his country has “tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use” against Iran, without elaborating further. The White House later said Mr. Vance did not mean use of the nuclear weapons. Responding to a post on X that said Mr. Vance implies the President would use nuclear weapons, the White House Rapid Response said: “Literally nothing @VP said here ‘implies’ this, you absolute buffoons”.

The statements came as Tehran reported the U.S. and Israel had already begun attacking key infrastructure including bridges and railways.
Iran’s Mehr news agency also reported that U.S. and Israel carried out strikes on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf, which is a key export terminal for Iran’s oil and gas.
