President Donald Trump don finally gree ceasefire with Iran for two weeks, just hours after im threaten say “whole civilization go die tonight” if Iran no open Strait of Hormuz. The announcement come around 90 minutes before 8 p.m. deadline wey im set for Iran to reach agreement with US.

For im Truth Social post on Tuesday night, Trump write say im dey suspend bombing and attack of Iran for two weeks. “Based on conversations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir, of Pakistan, and wherein they requested that I hold off the destructive force being sent tonight to Iran, and subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks,” Trump write.

Earlier for Tuesday morning, Trump don drop serious threat for social media. Im warn say “a whole civilization will die tonight” if no deal dey between the two warring countries. That threat na Trump’s most extreme public talk for this conflict so far. Im include vow to launch attacks on Iran’s infrastructure over continued disruption of shipping through Strait of Hormuz.

After im extend deadline multiple times for Iran to reopen the vital shipping route, wey about one-fifth of world oil and natural gas dey pass through, Trump announce 8 p.m. ET Tuesday as final deadline for Iran to come to deal. For Sunday post, Trump threaten Iran’s power plants and bridges if dem no open strait by Tuesday deadline, using expletives and invoking Islam.

Na latest for series of escalating threats by Trump against Tehran. Before now, im threaten to bomb country into “the Stone Ages” and call Iranian government “crazy bastards” while demanding say dem open key shipping route.

Trump’s threat Tuesday morning spark wave of fierce and immediate condemnations from Democrats. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., talk say Trump statement “shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response.” Im add say House must come back into session immediately to vote to end “reckless war of choice” before Trump plunge country into World War III.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democratic ranking members of key Senate committees issue rare joint statement warn Trump say im “must not follow through on this threat.” Dem talk say intentionally destroying power, water, or basic infrastructure wey tens of millions of civilians depend on to punish civilians wey suffer at hands of Iranian regime go constitute war crime.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., former CIA analyst, warn say targeting civilians on mass scale “would be a clear violation of the law of armed conflict as laid out in the Geneva Conventions.” Im revive calls for service members to refuse illegal orders.

Meanwhile, most GOP leaders for Congress get small to say after Trump statement Tuesday morning. Offices of House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., no respond to requests for comment. Official Senate Republican X account publish unsigned post say: “Iran would be wise to take President Trump at his word. They can choose the easy way or the hard way.” The handle dey run by staff of Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

Still, some MAGA influencers and Trump allies criticize Trump post earlier Tuesday on Truth Social. Dem dey increasingly push back against im Iran policy for recent days. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., talk for Monday say im no want see US attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure, marking rare break with Trump.

Trump speak to Fox News‘ Bret Baier by phone Tuesday morning. Baier relay on air say Trump talk say 8 p.m. na deadline. “He said it is — if we get to that point, there is going to be an attack like they have not seen,” Baier talk. “Now, he said if negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, that could change.”

International law experts concur with Democrats say Trump threats against things like power stations go be potential war crimes if dem carry am out. Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, talk say Trump dey openly threaten collective punishment, targeting not Iranian military but Iranian people. Im note say collective punishment of civilians during armed conflict na violation of Fourth Geneva Convention.

Some rank-and-file Democratic senators criticize Trump post Tuesday morning as “completely unstable” and “unhinged.” Others, including Sen. Ed Markey, of Massachusetts, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, call for Trump impeachment or removal from office.

Across aisle, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia, Trump ally-turned-critic, also call for Trump to be removed through 25th Amendment. “25TH AMENDMENT!!!” im post for X. “Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness.”

For short call with Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich on Tuesday evening, Trump talk say im dey for midst of “heated negotiations” with Iran. Heinrich talk say Trump “declined” to comment at time on two-week extension proposal.

Trump repeat threats against country’s infrastructure at news conference Monday, tell reporters say US dey ready to attack if Iran no open strait. “Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business — burning, exploding and never to be used again,” im talk.
