Trump Escalates Threats to Iran

Big Take

About this episode

President Trump intensified his threats on Iran Tuesday morning posting on Truth Social, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

This escalation follows a post on Monday saying the US would attack its bridges and power facilities if it failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic by 8pm ET Tuesday night.

On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder sits down with White House correspondent Courtney Subramanian to unpack the state of negotiations between the US and Iran, Tehran’s rejection of a temporary ceasefire and the mounting pressure from voters and international leaders.
