Trump's Hormuz Ultimatum — Tehran Refuses
Washington / Tehran: US President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Iran, setting a Tuesday deadline for Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping or face military strikes on its power plants and bridges. The White House framed the warning as a direct consequence of Iran's ongoing military posture in the region.
Tehran has categorically rejected the ultimatum. Iranian authorities characterised Trump's demand as a form of economic warfare and vowed retaliatory strikes if any such attacks are carried out against Iranian infrastructure. Senior Iranian commanders warned that any assault on the country's power grid or bridges would be met with a proportional and immediate military response.
"Iran will not bow to threats. Any attack on our infrastructure will be answered with a response that the aggressor will not forget."

Iranian Missile Strikes Haifa — 2 Dead
An Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa, killing at least two people and wounding four others. Emergency services confirmed that two additional individuals remain unaccounted for and search operations are ongoing in the rubble. Israeli air defences were partially successful in intercepting the salvo, but the missile that struck the building evaded the intercept system.
Israeli authorities have declared a heightened state of alert across northern cities. Residents in the Haifa district have been advised to remain in reinforced rooms, with sirens continuing to sound intermittently. Israeli Defence Forces have confirmed a series of counter-strikes targeting Iranian launch sites.
US-Israeli Strikes Kill 34+ Across Iran
A wave of coordinated US-Israeli air and missile strikes across multiple Iranian cities and military installations has killed at least 34 people, according to figures compiled from Iranian state media and independent monitoring groups. Among the confirmed dead are at least six children — the youngest reported victim was four years old.
Strikes have been reported in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz and near the Bushehr nuclear facility perimeter, though Iranian officials disputed claims of direct hits on nuclear infrastructure. Hospitals in affected cities are operating under emergency protocols with significant strain on medical resources.
Gulf Infrastructure Under Attack
Iranian military forces have extended their strikes beyond Israel, targeting critical infrastructure across the Gulf region. The attacks represent a significant escalation in the geographic scope of the conflict.

What Is the Strait of Hormuz?
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway between Iran and Oman that connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Approximately 20 percent of the world's total oil supply passes through this chokepoint every day. Any Iranian move to blockade or mine the strait would immediately trigger a global energy crisis, sending oil prices to historic highs and disrupting supply chains across Asia, Europe and beyond.
Conclusion & What to Watch Next
The conflict is escalating at a pace that has alarmed international observers and world leaders. With Trump's Tuesday deadline looming, the next 48 hours will be critical. The United Nations Security Council has called an emergency session, while Russia and China have both urged de-escalation and warned against any unilateral military action targeting civilian infrastructure.
