President Donald Trump threatened Iran with dire consequences if a deal is not reached within 48 hours, following a series of military strikes that have escalated tensions in the region. Trump's ultimatum coincided with Iranian military actions, including the downing of US aircraft and retaliatory strikes on economic targets. The conflict, which began over a month ago with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, has resulted in casualties, including five deaths from an Israeli strike on a petrochemical hub in Iran's Khuzestan province. Additionally, a strike near the Bushehr nuclear plant led to the evacuation of workers and raised fears of radioactive fallout affecting Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) capitals. The ongoing military actions have disrupted global energy supplies, leading to increased concern among international leaders. Protests in Israel have emerged, with citizens demanding peace talks as the violence continues to escalate.
