An Iranian-born woman now residing in the United States described experiencing intense fear following President Trump's recent threat against Iran, according to an interview with CBS News.

The woman, whose identity was not disclosed, told CBS News correspondent Lindsey Reiser that she "felt a sense of terror" when Trump threatened to wipe out Iranian civilization if the regime did not reach a deal to end the current conflict.

"I couldn't even think. I just, I felt paralyzed," the woman said in the exclusive interview, describing her physical and emotional reaction to the president's statement.

The interview took place as the conflict involving Iran entered its fourth month, according to CBS News reporting. The woman's comments reflect concerns among Iranian-Americans and Iranian expatriates about the escalating rhetoric between the two nations.

Trump's threat was reportedly made in April as part of broader diplomatic pressure on Iran's government to engage in negotiations to end the ongoing hostilities.
