Extreme threatening remarks by Trump posted on social media on April 7. This is not an official declaration of war, but part of his “ultimatum” to Iran, aiming to force Iran to yield through maximum pressure.
🚨 Core statement interpretation
Verbatim reconstruction: Trump wrote, “Tonight, all of civilization will perish, never to return,” and added, “I don’t want that to happen, but it may … It will be revealed tonight.”
Subtext: This is a continuation of the White House briefing held on April 6. The deadline he set for Iran to accept the U.S.’s terms—20:00 U.S. Eastern Time on April 7 (08:00 Beijing Time on April 8)—otherwise it will face a “devastating” strike.
💡 Market and situation impact
Peak of risk-averse sentiment: The remarks directly pushed global markets into an extreme risk-off mode (such as the crypto assets you were following earlier, with broad declines in U.S. stocks), as funds rushed into gold, crude oil, and the U.S. dollar.
Essence of psychological warfare: At present, the prevailing analysis is that this is Trump’s usual negotiation tactic (“the madman theory”), attempting to intimidate Iran with exaggerated rhetoric about “the destruction of civilization,” rather than launching an immediate full-scale nuclear war.
Key timing: Please closely monitor developments after 8:00 AM Beijing Time on April 8, as this will determine whether it is “war escalation” or “calling off at the last minute.”
