Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's threats, stating that the power of Iran's culture, logic and faith will prevail over force and violence.
Baghaei posted on X that "the power of culture, logic, and faith of a civilized nation in its rightful ideals will undoubtedly prevail over the logic of force and violence." He added that the Iranian nation will use all its capacities to safeguard its rights.
Trump warned on Truth Social that without an agreement, "a whole civilization will be destroyed tonight and will never return." He described the situation as one of the most important moments in world history, with potential for "revolutionary and amazing" transformations.
In a press conference, Trump called the period "critical" and gave Iran until 8 a.m. Eastern Time the next day to respond, noting that the deadline was approaching.

Reliability assessment
Single source with direct, on-record quotes and attribution to named officials: Iran's FM spokesman Ismail Baghaei (on X) and US President Donald Trump (Truth Social and press conference with specific deadline). 'X said Y' from named public figures is reliable.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Amu TV: "Brutal force" in title (adds 'merciless' to spokesman's 'force and violence'); "protesting tone" in body (opinionated framing of the message). These introduce mild emotional loading beyond neutral reporting.
