Trump tells Iran its 'whole civilization will die TONIGHT' as he strikes Kharg Island hours before deadline
2026-04-07
Is that their TONITE and our morning?
One assumes bombing runs after dark.

8 pm ET, so our evening, their 0-dark:30. About 2:00 am their time, or thereabout — I’m not sure what time zone they’re in..
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Donald Trump said Iran's entire 'civilization will die tonight' after the Islamic regime rejected his peace demands as the clock ticks down toward the President's deadline to unleash 'hell' on the country.

Trump told his followers on Truth Social: 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.'

The President's deadline is set to expire by 8pm ET on Tuesday.

'However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?' Trump added.

'We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption and death will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!'

The US hit approximately 50 military targets on Kharg Island overnight, a crucial Iranian oil export hub, as fears grow over a potential ground invasion to seize it.

Bunkers, a radar station and ammunition storage were hit by US airstrikes, according to senior administration officials. Footage emerged on social media showing the aftermath of the destruction on the island.

The escalating military action comes after senior Iranian officials rejected a proposal conveyed by intermediaries for a temporary ceasefire with the US, according to Reuters.
