The United States is formulating plans for possible military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, as tensions escalate ahead of a deadline set by President Donald Trump for a peace agreement. The deadline, scheduled for 8 pm ET on Tuesday, may lead to military action if an agreement is not reached. US military planners are preparing a list of targets that include key energy facilities with a military nexus, indicating their role in supporting Iran's defense operations. These facilities could be considered legitimate military targets if they are used to supply fuel for military activities, such as missile systems. Trump has warned that all of Iran's power plants could face destruction if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by the deadline. The situation is critical, as the US increases pressure on Iran to negotiate, with the potential for escalation looming if talks fail.
