As the deadline set by President Donald Trump approaches, the White House is contemplating a ceasefire proposal from Pakistan. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump is aware of the proposal and will respond accordingly. Meanwhile, reports have emerged indicating that Iranian authorities are urging civilians to gather at sensitive locations, such as power plants and bridges, potentially to act as human shields against anticipated strikes. Trump condemned these actions as 'totally illegal' during a phone call with NBC News, emphasizing the risks involved. He warned of dire consequences if Iran does not comply with U.S. demands, stating that a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if tensions escalate. Amid these warnings, residents in cities like Tehran and Isfahan are reportedly fleeing urban areas, leading to clogged highways and emptied supermarkets as families stockpile essentials in anticipation of potential military action and supply disruptions.
