Is it an overreaction to read that and think the only way to wipeout a whole civilisation would be with a nuke? I genuinely wouldn't put it passed him at this point!Please someone just do the right thing

Certainly the language actually implies that and he only has family and yes men and women (only good looking women though as he doesn’t like ugly women) around him. Hopefully there are enough sane people in there to stop this before it gets even further out of hand.
Thankfully we are staying out of it and you have to seriously question the judgement of party leaders in this country who wanted us to be Trumps poodle.

Didn’t cross my mind till you said. Looks like it’s half AI (criticising about using the F word on Easter) and half real (using the US military to commit war crimes).

Trump loses support from some Republicans
Among the voices condemning Trump for his threat against Iranian "civilization" and the ongoing US airstrikes are some of his long-time allies in the Republican party.
Georgia Congressman Austin Scott, who serves on both the House Armed Services committee and the intelligence committee, told BBC News that Trump's comments will do little to stop the fighting.
"The president's comments are counter-productive and I do not agree with them," said Scott.
Texas Republican Nathaniel Moran posted on X that he takes issue with Trump's threat.
"Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world," Moran wrote.
"So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a 'whole civilization.' That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America."
Trump has also faced criticism from notable conservative voices in the media, including Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens and Joe Rogan.
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who split with Trump after building her political career as a Trump loyalist, called his latest threat "insane" and called for him to be removed from office.
"We cannot kill an entire civilization," she wrote on X. “This is evil and madness.”
Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who quit over Trump decision to attack Iran, says Trump risks America's reputation if he decides to target civilian infrastructure.
"Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger," he posted on X.
"If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower."
Well done Pakistan 
President Donald Trump may be considering an off-ramp to deescalate the war with Iran.
The White House said on Tuesday that Trump was "aware" of a proposal by Pakistan that Trump extend his deadline by two weeks to pave the way for a temporary ceasefire. His proposal, posted on social media, includes requests for a two-week ceasefire and opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and would be followed by talks for a permanent end to the war.
Trump declined several times in talks with reporters on Tuesday to offer details on the US-Iran talks. He said the countries are involved in "heated negotiations."
Trump has given Iran until 20:00 eastern time (0100 BST) to reach a deal, or face an attack that he said would destroy the country's bridges and power plants. Trump also warned Tuesday that "a whole civilisation might die" if Iran doesn't agree to a deal.
The social media post sparked a backlash. It also underscored how much pressure Trump faces as he pushes for a deal and weighs whether or not to follow through with his threat to escalate the war.
