Former Secretary of State John Kerry has criticized President Trump's threatening posts about Iran, calling them the "prelude to becoming one of the greatest war criminals in history". Kerry expressed shock over the president's Truth Social posts, which included a threat that Iran's "whole civilization will die" and an expletive-laden post on Easter Sunday. He also dismissed the administration's claim of an imminent nuclear threat from Iran, stating that there was no imminent threat. The threats come ahead of negotiations between Iranian officials and a U.S. delegation led by Vice President Vance in Pakistan.
