Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a new statement late Tuesday night, just hours before the scheduled time of his address, whose fate has become uncertain in light of rapidly unfolding developments. Trump’s message takes on added significance because it coincides with the deadline he set for Iran to accept a ceasefire by 3:00 a.m. Wednesday, following a series of recent postponements that have heightened the world’s anticipation.

Trump Issues a Stiff Warning
In his latest remarks, Trump adopted a dramatic tone, on the one hand predicting enormous destruction, and at the same time affirming the emergence of a new system in Iran. He said it is unlikely that any positive steps will be taken before the deadline, describing the situation as being on the verge of a historic change. Trump warned that “an entire civilization will disappear,” underscoring the gravity of the current situation.

Trump said: “Tonight, an entire civilization will be lost forever, and it will not return. I don’t want this to happen, but it may be inevitable. However, since a comprehensive and complete system change has occurred in Iran, led by more rational and less extremist minds, this may lead to something extraordinary—who knows? We’ll find out tonight; this could be one of the most pivotal moments in the history of the world. Forty-seven years of rape, corruption, and death may finally come to an end. May God protect the great Iranian people!”
