1:13Now PlayingPresident Trump issued new threats to Iran Tuesday morning, writing online that "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." He added, "I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."
The president also continues to demand that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 p.m. Eastern Time tonight. If Iran refuses, Trump said he'll order U.S. forces to bomb all of Iran’s bridges and power plants. In the meantime, the U.S. struck targets on Iran’s Kharg Island — home to a key oil facility in the Persian Gulf — this morning.
