A whole civilization might die tonight

President Trump threatens that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if a ceasefire agreement with Iran isn't reached, marking his most extreme rhetoric yet.
The U.S. deadline is set for 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, after multiple extensions, for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for global oil and gas.
Trump warns of attacks on Iran's infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, which international law experts label as potential war crimes, citing violations of the Geneva Convention.
Democratic and some Republican critics describe Trump's threats as 'unhinged' and call for his removal via impeachment or the 25th Amendment, condemning the escalation as a 'war of choice.'
