MADRID, April 8 (Reuters) - The world came "perilously close" to disaster after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization in his ultimatum to Tehran, Spain's foreign minister said on Wednesday following the announcement of a ceasefire.
Jose Manuel Albares told RNE radio station that Trump's ultimatum was "absolutely unassumable for humankind" and it was too early to determine whether the conflict was definitively over.
"When the leader of a military superpower makes such threats, I take them seriously," he added.
