In the hours before President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire in the war with Iran, religious leaders across faith traditions responded with alarm after the president’s message Tuesday morning warning that “a whole civilization will die tonight.”
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.
In response, X and other social media platforms were flooded with reactions from lawmakers, clergy, and faith leaders.
