Iran War Tensions Escalate as US Deadline Approaches

-

Donald Trump has once again warned Iran’s regime and called for a resolution to the conflict. He said he insists that the Strait of Hormuz be reopened by Tuesday. Trump also warned that if no agreement is reached to end the fighting, then, in his words, all civilization could be wiped out tonight.

Referring to the 1979 revolution in Iran, Trump wrote that 47 years of threats, corruption, and death will finally come to an end.

Trump had earlier threatened Tehran that if no agreement is reached to end its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, large-scale attacks would be carried out against the country’s infrastructure.

The Head of the Iranian Regime’s Judiciary Called for Accelerating and Increasing Death Sentences

Explosions Reported on Kharg Island

Iranian regime’s state-run Mehr News Agency reported explosions on Kharg Island, the strategic oil export island in the Persian Gulf.

According to the report, the island—which handles a large portion of Iran’s oil exports—has come under attack.

Earlier, in mid-March, U.S. military forces had conducted airstrikes on this island.

Two Killed in Shooting Near Israeli Consulate in Istanbul

According to reports, following an armed clash with police near the Israeli consulate building in Istanbul, at least two attackers were killed, and another person was seriously wounded.

A Reuters video shows police officers drawing their weapons and taking cover after hearing gunfire. The shooting reportedly continued for about 10 minutes. In the footage, one person can be seen lying on the ground covered in blood.

Another video appears to show one of the attackers moving among police and security forces while shots are being fired. Two bodies are also visible near the scene of the clash.

Attack on Petrochemical Hub in Jubail, Saudi Arabia

Overnight attacks targeted the Jubail region in eastern Saudi Arabia and reportedly caused a fire at a major petrochemical complex.

An eyewitness told Agence France-Presse that explosions were heard at facilities belonging to the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), and workers were evacuated from nearby residential areas.

Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency also reported on Tuesday that the attack targeted a petrochemical complex.

The city of Jubail in eastern Saudi Arabia hosts one of the world’s largest industrial cities, where products such as steel, gasoline, petrochemicals, lubricants, and chemical fertilizers are produced.

As of the time of publication, there has been no official response from Saudi Arabia’s government or SABIC.

Israel Warned People in Iran to Avoid Train Travel

The Israeli military issued a warning urging Iranian citizens to avoid using trains and stay away from railway lines, saying their lives would be at risk.

In a post on X, the Israeli military asked people in Iran to avoid all train travel nationwide until 9:00 p.m. local time.

The warning said that being on trains or near railway infrastructure could place civilians in danger.

Iran’s regime has restricted internet access in recent weeks, preventing many citizens inside the country from directly seeing this message.

However, Persian-language satellite news networks based abroad have rebroadcast the warning.

As Trump’s Deadline for Infrastructure Strikes Nears, Iran’s Regime Rejected the Ceasefire Proposal

Iran’s regime rejected the U.S. ceasefire proposal, which had been presented through Pakistani mediation with the aim of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and beginning peace talks in the coming weeks.

Informed sources say Tehran opposed the 45-day ceasefire and instead demanded a complete and permanent end to the war.

Iran’s regime official IRNA news agency reported that Tehran’s response included 10 conditions, including the lifting of sanctions, reconstruction, and guarantees for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump warned that if Iran’s regime refuses the agreement, it could be destroyed overnight.

He threatened that if no agreement is reached, large-scale attacks against bridges, power plants, and other infrastructure would be carried out by early Wednesday.
