President Trump has said that he will wipe out a civilization tonight by bombing power plants and bridges in Iran unless they accept a peace proposal and open the Strait of Hormuz to everyone. Democrats are claiming Trump is planning a war crime. Pres Trump says the Iranian 'civilization' will never rise again.
That is good news for those worried about the Achaemenid, Parthian, and Sasanian Empires.
Bridges and power plants are of military value. Eisenhower built the interstates for defense reasons to move military vehicles around quickly. Iran's military-industrial complex needs power to produce weapons and light bulbs to see maps at night. The next generation of Iranians may use more solar panels. Toynbee said there is just one world civilization now- so one isn't going to be destroyed-hyperbole as usual.
