Verbal threats of extreme violence. Donald Trump launched, on Tuesday, April 7 on his Truth Social platform, that “an entire civilization will cease to exist this [Tuesday] night”, just a few hours before the expiration of his ultimatum against Iran in the evening (8pm in the US, 2am in France) to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. “I don’t want this to happen, but it will probably be the case,” added Donald Trump.
Following this, the American Vice President remained more optimistic, ensuring that “many negotiations” still had to take place on Tuesday. While in Budapest, Hungary, J.D. Vance stated that the United States had already “largely achieved their military objectives” in Iran. But according to him, if the war were to continue, Iranian leaders “must know that we have tools in our arsenal that, so far, we have not decided to use”. Donald Trump “can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians do not change their behavior,” he added.
Donald Trump is “alone” in knowing “what he is going to do” in Iran, his spokesperson Karoline Leavitt also affirmed. On Monday, the American President had declared himself ready to destroy the entire Iran “in a single night” if his ultimatum to the Islamic Republic expires without results. According to him, the United States can destroy the country’s bridges and power plants “in four hours”.
