PANews reported on April 7 that US President Trump, speaking about Iran, said, "The whole civilization will perish tonight, never to recover. I don't want that to happen, but it could very well happen. However, now that we have achieved a complete and thorough regime change, with a new, wiser, and more mature government in power, perhaps something truly transformative will happen. Who knows? Tonight we will know all. This is an extremely important moment in the long and complex history of the world."
