The U.S. president warns of the destruction of “an entire civilization,” while also leaving open the possibility of a ceasefire, saying that “now that we have a complete and total regime change, where different, smarter, and less radical thoughts prevail, something revolutionary and wonderful may happen.”

The American president’s post read: “A whole civilization will die tonight and will never return. I do not want this to happen, but it is likely to happen. However, now that we have a complete and total regime change, where different, smarter and less radical thoughts prevail, something revolutionary and wonderful may happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, in 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!”
