Iran’s UN ambassador rips Trump in final hours before Strait of Hormuz deadline
Trump gave the Iranian regime until 8 p.m. ET to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a major waterway — or face strikes against power plants and bridges.
In a blog post Tuesday morning, Trump said, “An entire civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” and “I don’t want it to happen, but it probably will.”

“It is unfortunate and disturbing that the President of the United States, in full view of the international community, is brazenly and shamelessly issuing threats to destroy everything.” Civil infrastructure in Iran“Including bridges, power plants and energy facilities, by setting a deadline and publicly revealing this intention to commit vile crimes and crimes against humanity,” Irvani added.
“The Iranian regime has committed egregious human rights violations against its own citizens for 47 years, just killed tens of thousands of protesters in January, and has targeted civilians indiscriminately across the region in order to cause as much death as possible throughout this conflict,” the White House said, when asked by Fox News Digital about the reaction.

Anna Kelly, White House Deputy Press Secretary, added: “As President Trump said today, Iran can never have a nuclear weapon, and the Iranian people welcome the sound of bombs because it means their oppressors are losing. The President will always stand with innocent civilians as he eliminates the terrorists responsible for threatening our country and the entire world with a nuclear weapon.” ““Further devastation can be avoided if the regime recognizes the seriousness of this moment and makes a deal with the United States.”
Trump also said on Tuesday: “Now that we have a complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, less extreme minds prevail, maybe something wonderfully revolutionary could happen, who knows?”

The president added: “Tonight we will discover one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world.” “47 years of blackmail, corruption and death will finally end. God bless the great Iranian people!”
