On Tuesday, Iranian authorities reported multiple strikes by U.S. and Israeli forces targeting critical infrastructure across Iran, including two bridges in Qom and central Iran, which resulted in at least two fatalities. The strikes also affected a key highway linking Tabriz and Tehran, and railway tracks in Karaj, near Tehran. Amid these developments, U.S. President Donald Trump warned that a whole civilization could perish if Iran does not comply with demands regarding the Strait of Hormuz by a midnight deadline. The Israeli military advised Iranians to avoid train travel, and train services to Mashhad were suspended. The strikes coincided with explosions in Tehran and the destruction of the Rafi-Nia synagogue. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened to cut off oil and gas supplies to the U.S. and its allies if their red lines were crossed. Tensions also escalated in the Gulf, with the King Fahd Bridge temporarily closed due to fears of Iranian retaliation.
