Debate With Arnab: Can Trump Wipeout Iran’s Civilization With Brute Military Force?

On Tuesday, President Trump threatened to wipe out the whole Iranian "civilization" if the regime did not fulfill his 8 p.m. ET deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump's new threat, the most ominous in a series of public warnings to Iran, appears to be part of an effort to persuade Tehran that the dangers of not reaching a quick deal are too great to bear. Vice President Vance, who is involved in the Iran diplomacy, said during a press conference in Budapest on Tuesday that vigorous negotiations would continue until Trump's deadline. "I am hopeful it will get to a good resolution," he replied.
