U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” as his threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure loom ahead of an 8 p.m. ET deadline.
Iran has rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and says it wants a permanent end to the war.
UN Secretary General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law.
The death toll so far includes more than 1,900 people in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, about two dozen in other countries in the region, 13 U.S. service members and 11 Israeli soldiers.

He’s gonna nuke Tehran isn’t he?
Who could’ve guessed that eschewing the US’s soft power they built up over decades for Russian style “might makes right” posturing and sabre rattling would not work? Trump is really speedrunning to “Chinese ultimatums” with this fiasco.
Yeah this is the whole problem with the ‘madman’ strategy, when applied to nuclear armed states.
Its … arguably much worse when the person employing the madman strategy… is literally a demented madman with a cult of personality atound him.
Hope you got your pip boy in working order.
