Donald Trump has vowed to destroy Iran’s “whole civilisation” in just hours and declared “extortion, corruption and death will end” if Tehran fails to strike a deal with the US.The President has appeared to stick to his original demand for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm tonight, with its blockade sending oil prices soaring worldwide.Previously, the Commander-in-Chief handed Iran the ever-approaching deadline to clear the key maritime passage – or face chilling consequences, including the destruction of its power plants and bridges.This afternoon, Mr Trump instructed the nation to ready itself for “one of the most important moments in the history of the world”.
