US Vice President JD Vance issued a stark warning to Iran, stating the US has tools "not yet used," while an Iranian official urged citizens to form human shields. The threat, which included a "whole-civilization-will-die" comment from Trump, drew condemnation from the Iranian ambassador to the UN and Pope Leo XIV. Pakistan's Prime Minister appealed to Trump for a two-week extension on the ultimatum to allow for peace talks, as Bahrain closed its largest port and Kuwait advised citizens to stay home amid escalating tensions.
