This morning, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that a whole civilization will die tonight. The deadline for strikes on Iranian bridges and power plants is hours away. Iran has ended all talks. There is no deal. This is his fourth deadline and his second this week alone.

On today's episode of The Ignition News, we cover where Operation Epic Fury stands right now: the Strait of Hormuz still closed, Brent crude above 110 dollars a barrel, gas past five dollars in some cities, and US forces striking Iranian oil infrastructure overnight. We cover the Pentagon's move to revise its target list to include civilian energy facilities, and what human rights experts say that means under the Fourth Geneva Convention. We cover the growing chorus calling for the president's removal under the 25th Amendment, including MTG, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, JB Pritzker, and Ro Khanna.

We also look at what happens to everyday American life when the federal government falls apart from the top down, including eight people killed in police vehicle pursuits in fewer than seven days across Alabama, Texas, and California.

And we close with something more personal: a moment at the movies with family, and a reminder that around this planet, billions of people are having tiny three second flashes of ordinary human life right now. People in Tehran. People in Alabama. People who did not choose any of this.

This is the most serious moment of our political lifetime. Act accordingly.
