Trump says a 'whole civilization will die tonight' as Iran Hormuz deadline looms By Ponderer April 7, 2026 7:01 am Category: Final Fantasy (0.0 from 0 votes) Rules of the Post & Tips. Write & Comment How To Post Here

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran on Tuesday morning that a wave of expected U.S. military attacks on critical infrastructure would leave the country unable to recover.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote in a April 7 social media post.

Trump's stark warning comes after he threatened to take out "the entire country" Monday with no signs of budging on a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz.

"The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night," Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday, repeating his 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline for Iran to make a deal. "Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o'clock tomorrow night… every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again."

Strikes on Iranian energy and transportation infrastructure would mark a major escalation in the conflict. Experts warn the attacks on civilian infrastructure could be war crimes and could turn Iranian civilians against the United States.

The countdown comes after Trump on Easter Sunday renewed an ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway used to ship much of the world’s oil. Since the United States and Israel launched the war on Feb. 28, Iran has blocked oil shipments through the strait to drive up global fuel costs.

by Ponderer on April 7, 2026 7:02 am America will never again be as powerful as it was before Donald Trump. by Donna on April 7, 2026 7:10 am We have become pariahs under trump. We're despised by the entire free world. Even if we rid ourselves of trump and fascism, we won't be trusted anymore because our old allies know that we can change literally overnight with the next election. For my fellow boomers, this is the way it'll be for the rest of our lives 😓 by myce on April 7, 2026 7:43 am I've cursed my mother a thousand times for bringing me into this evil world instead of having an abortion. I'm just expressing how I feel. by Donna on April 7, 2026 7:55 am The U.S. wasn't in the crosshairs of Iran before trump - Israel was. And now we are, too, and not just Iran's. And this is the way it'll be for the rest of our lives. by Donna on April 7, 2026 7:56 am I'm sorry you hate your existence, myce. I had no idea. by myce on April 7, 2026 8:23 am Thank you Donna. Everyone has pain and burdens, some more than others, and a lifetime of poor mental health is my burden. by myce on April 7, 2026 8:28 am I didn't mean to distract from the topic which is about the fact that Satan has tricked MAGA Americans. by myce on April 7, 2026 8:29 am Metaphorically speaking, I mean. by Ponderer on April 7, 2026 8:36 am myce, *HUGS*** by Indy! on April 7, 2026 9:45 am TACO says what? by Curt_Anderson on April 7, 2026 9:45 am Myce, You are anonymous here. But I am not alone in hoping the best and happiness for you. If you need somebody to "talk" to, feel free to share your troubles. Any advice you get may be considered or ignored. I suspect many of us are older than you and have relevant experiences. by islander on April 7, 2026 10:01 am Although I can't directly experience your feelings, Myce, I can fully understand them. I'm hoping that at some point you'll be able to overcome them and find meaning in them. keep on doing the best you can until that time because it will happen. by myce on April 7, 2026 11:56 am Thank you Ponderer, Curt, Islander. Hopefully it's just another taco. by Indy! on April 7, 2026 2:20 pm Hang in there, myce. There are good things happening all around us - just not on social media or the news. by HatetheSwamp on April 7, 2026 2:28 pm Gang, Ole pb's t'only SSer who has opposed the war itself. We'll see how this goes, but, before the deadline, pb thinks that this is a seriously not literally/literally not seriously, thing. You wokes and progressives: how's it feel to have an orange blob inside your head, baha by Donna on April 17, 2026 8:19 am A friend of Sheri and I posted this today: Staying with relatives, I have had the opportunity to listen to more conservative news media than I normally do (Fox and Trinity Broadcasting Network). One theme I keep hearing is that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat that had to be addressed, and it justified the current war. If you read the NY Times deeply sourced reporting on the decision to go to war (and it can be accessed for free if you go through their app) what becomes clear is that this all got started because of a presentation Netanyahu made to the president in which he rosily asserted that a quick strike could bring about positive regime change in Iran. In the days following, our CIA director and other intelligence officials told the president that while we had the capability to destroy the current leadership and severely weaken Iran's military capability, the notion that this would result in a better regime was pure fantasy. Marco Rubio agreed with this. Vance was also opposed to starting a war on general principle. Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles was also concerned that the war could severely damage Trump politically. (Israel had sold the President on the idea that a weakened Iran could not block the strait of Hormuth.) Trump liked the idea of possibly eliminating Iran as a threat, so he tended to listen to the voices that told him this would turn out well. When Israel came back and said they had intelligence on an above ground meeting that the Ayatollah would be attending, it seemed to make up the President's mind to go ahead with a strike. And the war started. But let's be clear. There was no imminent or increased threat that Iran posed at the time we went to war. This was sold to the president by Israel, and a number of their assumptions turned out not to be true. And the President tended to listen to the optimistic assessments of his more hawkish advisors and did not follow the recommendations of his more cautious cabinet members. by HatetheSwamp on April 17, 2026 8:25 am "One theme I keep hearing is that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat that had to be addressed, and it justified the current war." I monitor right-wing media regularly. That's bull$#!t by Ponderer on April 17, 2026 8:33 am *sigh* "While Donald Trump frequently described Iran’s nuclear program and missile capabilities as threatening, U.S. intelligence officials and experts widely concluded there was no imminent nuclear threat. Trump’s Statements: Following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in 2025, President Trump characterized Iran as posing an urgent or “imminent” nuclear threat to the United States. He suggested that Iran could soon acquire nuclear weapons and missiles capable of striking the U.S., aiming to justify military action. He also referred to Iran as an “intolerable threat” to the American people and allies, highlighting concerns over nuclear enrichment and long-range missile development. Intelligence and Expert Assessments: Multiple U.S. intelligence officials, including Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, testified that Trump’s claims of an “imminent threat” were not supported by evidence. Reports indicated that Iran’s nuclear program had been heavily damaged by prior airstrikes, and there had been no efforts to rebuild enrichment capabilities. Missile development timelines suggested Iran was years away from being able to target the U.S. with intercontinental ballistic missiles. Fact-checking organizations and arms control experts consistently noted that the “soon” or “imminent” claims overstated the immediacy of the threat. Summary: Trump did claim publicly that Iran posed an “imminent threat,” but these statements conflicted with U.S. intelligence assessments. Experts emphasized that while Iran’s nuclear and missile programs represented a long-term security concern, there was no immediate capability to strike the United States or produce a nuclear weapon at that time. The terminology used by Trump was largely rhetorical rather than a reflection of verified, immediate threat levels." -A.I.

But, when did last he saybit!!!!!? by oldedude on April 17, 2026 10:13 am po (et al)-This doctor left Iran right after the takeover (she was 8 years old) and remembers the gunfire hitting the truck as they went over the border. She talks about the treatment of women inside the prison system within Iran. Young women that are still virgins are gang raped because they believe if a virgin woman is killed, she'll go to heaven, so they take care of that for her. I'm shocked that you won't even talk about that, after you talk all sorts of shit about how you support "women" which is absolute bullshit. This is part of this "war." and all you do is be a whiny little bitch about it (and you have a lot of help also). View Video by Indy! on April 17, 2026 10:16 am Fox "News"... snicker. Do you have anything more reputable... like one of Brown Shorts' TikTok videos? by oldedude on April 17, 2026 1:19 pm Obviously you didn't listen to it. She knows a fuckton more about the issues than you, which isn't hard, my 13 year old grand daughter knows a fuckton more than you do. And again, you only care about women when you objectifying them. Just like you did on 10/7 and later on, bought your "snuff films" from Hamas. by Indy! on April 17, 2026 5:55 pm Funny how my war prediction is coming true. Meanwhile your "vast knowledge" or weaponry and "master degrees" in green army play toys can't even figure out that Iran has the upper hand in this conflict your daddy was dumb enough to start but not NEARLY smart enough to end. by oldedude on April 17, 2026 8:03 pm cornuda concha- Funny how he'll have this fucking done by the end of the month. You really DO get your news from tiktok, don't you? yes, the CCP radio station is on 24/7 full blast, because you haven't heard anything to the contrary. If you knew anything about global events, and actually understood the countries involved, you "might" be able to buy a fucking clue. But no.... you're far tooo FUCKING STUPID to do any of that. Good luck as a failed artist that's on the dole by choice because you're nothing but a fucking leach on your environment. You are wrong about the "rape," and you're fucking wrong about this. by Indy! on April 17, 2026 8:16 pm He said the war was going to be over last month, but you're so gullible you believe it's going to be over by the end of this month because Daddy says so? You know nothing about war - nothing at all. by oldedude on April 18, 2026 9:05 am That's strange, because I DIDN'T SAY THAT. I said by the end of the month. That's the 90 day limit prescribed by the law. So we have a scotcch less than two weeks left. The Iranians have ~8 days of that to come through with the agreement. by oldedude on April 18, 2026 10:57 am Just a review because no one actually watched it. An Iranian talking about Iran.
