Donald Trump has issued a deadline for Iran to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning he is prepared to conduct massive strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, power plants, desalination facilities and critical infrastructure including bridges. The president stated 'a whole civilization will die tonight,' though former Navy SEAL Mike Cirelli suggests this is hyperbolic messaging and that the intent is to target the Iranian regime rather than civilians. Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, Syria, Hezbollah and Houthi forces in Yemen may also face strikes as part of the operation.
