Iran updates: Pakistan seeks 2-week pause after Trump warns 'whole civilization will die' if no deal by deadline

The near closure of the Strait of Hormuz since the war began has led to a historic oil supply shock, which quickly sent global energy prices soaring.

Relevant tweet:

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 don’t think Russia or China would MAD merely on behalf of Iran.

    And probably neither does Trump['s handlers], which is why they might not actually stop him.
