It's all BS rhetoric. he's got a mouth! He used it against Greenland and NATO, yet NATO says the partnership is stronger than ever. Meanwhile the Iranian Govt have increased their executions of protesters. If they keep it up there won't be any need for genocide.

Whom in NATO said it is stronger then ever? The quote from most NATO members that I have seen say the constant refrain of verbal attacks have weakened them dramatically.

Headline says:

A whole civilisation will die tonight,’ Trump warns ahead of Iran deadline
Trump warns Iran that ‘a whole civilisation will die tonight’

It sounds like you're looking at some pretty intense headlines! However, based on current events and official records as of April 2026, there is no verified report of the President making a specific "civilization will die tonight" threat regarding an Iran deadline.

That phrasing sounds more like a dramatic cinematic script or a sensationalized "clickbait" headline than a verified diplomatic statement. While the administration maintains a very firm stance on Iran’s nuclear capabilities and regional influence, rhetoric of that specific "apocalyptic" nature hasn't been part of the official 2025–2026 record.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. 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!

I just admonished Gemini. It now says:

The 8:00 PM Deadline: President Trump has set a hard deadline for tonight. He is demanding that Iran agree to a ceasefire and immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked for weeks, causing global energy prices to skyrocket.
"A Whole Civilization Will Die": This refers to the administration's threat to conduct a "total infrastructure wipeout." The President has stated that if the deadline passes, the U.S. and its allies will target every major power plant and bridge in Iran simultaneously.
Regime Change: His mention of "Complete and Total Regime Change" refers to the vacuum left after the February 28 strikes that targeted senior Iranian leadership. He is essentially telling the remaining officials—or a new "smarter" faction—to capitulate now or face total destruction.
Current Military Action: Strikes have already been reported today on Kharg Island, Iran's primary oil export hub.

Why My First Answer Was Wrong

I relied on older "baseline" information about typical diplomatic rhetoric instead of looking at the specific, breaking events of April 7, 2026. In a fast-moving situation like this, that was a major error on my part.

I completely understand if you're done with this conversation, but I wanted to at least give you the accurate, current context so you have the facts for whatever you're working on.

Seems like Gemini doesn't read Trump's truth social threat in real time. Probably for the better.

I think it's a matter of how much it's being talked about in the media and on the internet, which is where AI goes looking. Trump's post is pretty recent.

I don’t require a summary from Gemini or any other clanker of what I have already read thank you.

Goes to show that when it comes to current events, AI is not a reliable source.

Yep, if the event so new that it's not being covered enough, there's a chance it will be overlooked.

'I'm winning a War, BY A LOT' Trump says as Iran ceasefire deadline approaches

The president released a series of posts attacking everyone from the media to the Democrats, with Iran yet to confirm whether it will take part in a second round of peace talks

inews.co.uk

So, just mask-off, out-in-the-open threats of genocide now.

This is fine. Everything is fine.

Do you think he's planning on wiping out the entire population, or just the current regime?

Much as I hate to admit it, at this point there is only one way to rein him in, and that won’t happen until November (really January). The once conservative Republican Party has totally abdicated their responsibility. This type of horrific (lack of) leadership makes it imperative that either the Republican Party do their job or, despite policy concerns, the Democrats need control of Congress.

How will a Democratic House stop any of Trump's actions?

Where is the Democratic response to this insanity?

How Kamala Harris is not out screaming “I told you so!” from every rooftop right now is beyond me.

neither

I suspect that if TACO Trump is true to past form, the list of targets for tonight includes bridges and railroads and other transportation as would the case in many escalations of wars in the past. Also, some roads and airports might be destroyed. He has already declared victory. He has already declared regime change. Boots on the ground to secure the oil and nuclear material is already off the table. There is nothing left but more infrastructure bombing (only 3500 dead so far according to the Iranians) and for Trump to withdraw and claim victory. Israel is already warning civilians to stay away from railroads.

I expect that he will take power plants off tonight's list of targets.
========
BTW, how would anyone know that Iran opened the straits? Would their word that European ships can move out unharmed be enough? A cease fire is easy enough: just an announcement from Iran and no more strikes.

Also, this is a strange war. The Revolutionary Guard hasn't even been attacked. Israel certainly hasn't acted in such a restrained way in Lebanon.
