US strikes military targets on Iran's Kharg Island hours before Trump deadline

A senior U.S. official said the strikes hit military targets as Washington pressed Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

  • On Tuesday, Iranian media reported multiple explosions on Kharg Island, the country's primary oil export terminal, hours before a deadline set by President Donald Trump for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Trump set an 8:00 PM deadline today for Iran to meet demands or face expanded attacks, as Washington warned it could target critical energy infrastructure including the facility handling up to 90 percent of the country's oil.
  • The IDF stated it completed a broad wave of strikes across Iran, hitting infrastructure sites and bridges, while regional officials reported two people were killed during an attack on a railway bridge in Kashan.
  • Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that "restraint has ended," threatening to disrupt regional oil and gas supplies and stating attacks will prompt retaliation against U.S. and allied interests in the Middle East.
  • Qatar's foreign ministry cautioned that the conflict could "get out of control," saying there will be "no winners" if the war continues, while Iranian officials claim 14 million citizens are prepared to defend the nation.
