17:59Now PlayingDonald Trump has said 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if 'total regime change' is not enacted in Iran ahead of his proposed peace deal deadline.
The threat comes hours after Kharg Island was reportedly hit by a series of strikes, Iranian state media reported on Tuesday, with Iran's Revolutionary Guard issuing a warning to regional neighbours.
The Revolutionary Guard had earlier warned its neighbours that "restraint is over", adding that it will target US and partners' infrastructure and disrupt regional oil and gas supplies "for years".
Mr Trump has given Tehran until 8pm on Tuesday Washington time (1am on Wednesday UK time) to end its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz or be bombed “back to the Stone Ages”.
Trump continued: "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?"
"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!"
Reiterating its stance on the UK joining the US and Istael in policing the Strait, Downing Street said on Tuesday that UK’s focus remains “de-escalation” and a “negotiated settlement” for the region.
Calls for a resolution come as Mr Trump appeared to escalate his rhetoric and the US-Israeli bombing campaign continued.
An earlier post by the US President threatened to reduce Iran's leadership to "living in hell" as he referred to the Iranian regime as "crazy b*****ds".
Iran then flatly rejected his proposed ceasefire - one that would ultimately see the Strait of Hormuz opened for a short period.
It comes as the US military struck dozens of Iranian military targets on Kharg Island overnight, according to an American official speaking to NBC News.
Iranian media announced the strikes earlier in the day, with the US confirming targets along the northern side of Kharg Island - Iran's oil production hub.
It comes as gunfire was heard near the Israeli consulate in Istanbul on Tuesday, with one attacker shot dead and two others injured - with two police officers wounded in the attack.
