In a dramatic post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump warned that a 'whole civilization will die tonight' in the context of escalating tensions with Iran. He expressed a desire to avoid such a catastrophe but acknowledged its likelihood. Trump proposed that a shift towards 'complete and total regime change' could yield positive outcomes, stating that 'maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen.' His remarks coincide with reports of increased military activity in the region, particularly around Kharg Island, which is critical for Iran's oil exports, accounting for nearly 90% of the country's crude shipments. The US military has reportedly targeted military sites on the island, marking a significant escalation in tensions. Trump characterized this moment as one of the most important in the complex history of the world, suggesting that decades of 'extortion, corruption, and death' could come to an end.
