On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced military strikes against Iran, declaring an end to '47 years of extortion, corruption, and death.' The strikes, executed by the US and Israel, targeted significant Iranian infrastructure, including oil facilities on Kharg Island, which is crucial for Iran's economy as it handles about 90% of the country's oil exports. Reports indicate that at least nine civilians were killed and fifteen injured due to the attacks, which also hit bridges and residential areas. Trump's ultimatum demanded that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz by a final deadline, threatening total destruction of its infrastructure otherwise. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that any crossing of their 'red lines' would lead to severe consequences, including depriving the US and its allies of oil and gas. The situation remains tense as Iran continues to reject Trump's ceasefire proposal, insisting on guarantees and compensation for wartime losses.
