President Donald Trump has escalated his threats towards Iran, vowing to destroy the entire country following his earlier controversial remarks about bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure. Concerns have been raised about Trump’s willingness to target civilians after he mentioned expediting a joint military operation with Israel, stating it should occur within days, contrary to the previously suggested two to three weeks.
In an interview with ABC news, Trump emphasized the severe impact of the ongoing strikes on Iran, comparing it to the situation in Ukraine with Russia. He claimed that Iran has been heavily impacted and warned of worsening conditions, demanding Iran to agree to a deal within 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face devastating consequences.
Trump’s latest ultimatum comes after extending previous deadlines and claiming progress in peace talks. Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf condemned Trump’s actions as “war crimes” on Twitter, urging respect for the rights of the Iranian people and calling for an end to the escalating tensions.
