What Happened

President Trump threatened to destroy Iranian civilization if Tehran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz and meet his demands. He set a Tuesday deadline and posted on Truth Social that a civilization would die tonight. Legal experts called targeting civilian infrastructure a war crime. Democratic lawmakers condemned the threats, calling for ending the war. Republicans largely remained silent on Trump's rhetoric.
