US EditionTrump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran does not make a deal
Trump said Iran faces strikes on bridges and power plants if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as oil prices and diplomatic pressure rise.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump gave Iran until 8 p.m. in Washington to end its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, warning "a whole civilization will die tonight" if Tehran ignores his ultimatum.
- Pakistan's mediation efforts faltered when Iran rejected a temporary ceasefire proposal, instead demanding a permanent end to the war, lifting of sanctions, and reconstruction of sites damaged by Israeli-U.S. strikes.
- As the clock ticked down, strikes on Iran intensified throughout the day, hitting railway and road bridges, an airport, and a petrochemical plant, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened to "deprive America and its allies in the region of oil and gas for years."
- The Khorasaniha Synagogue in Tehran was destroyed in strikes, with lawmaker Homayoun Sameh stating "our Torah scrolls were left under the rubble," as Iranian officials urged young people to form human chains protecting power plants.
- Global markets remained largely paralyzed as observers debated whether Trump would follow through, noting he has abruptly called off similar threats over the past several weeks citing productive negotiations that Tehran has denied took place.
