Trump's Deadline Nears, Iran: US-Israel Attack Two Bridges and Other Infrastructure

At the same time, Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned that if Washington crossed Iran's 'red line,' Iran would cut off oil and natural gas supplies to the United States and its allies.

Agence France-Presse reported that Donald Trump had previously warned that unless Iran allowed free passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil transport route, by 8 PM Eastern Time (8 AM Taipei Time) that evening, the United States would launch what he called 'total destruction' operations, targeting important Iranian infrastructure such as bridges and power plants.

However, just hours before the deadline, the Israeli military announced that it had launched large-scale attacks on multiple 'infrastructure targets' in Iran.

Trump further escalated his threats, reiterating that if Iran did not accept his ultimatum, the consequences would be unimaginable. He posted on 'Truth Social,' stating: 'An entire civilization will perish tonight, never to recover. I don't want to see this happen, but it is very likely to happen.'

Iranian authorities reported that US-Israeli joint forces attacked a bridge on the outskirts of Qom and destroyed a railway bridge in central Iran, killing two people.

Iranian local governments also stated that the joint US-Israeli attack forced the closure of a major northern road connecting Tabriz and the capital Tehran.

In addition, Iran's Mizan news agency reported that a section of railway in Karaj, a city on the outskirts of Tehran, was also attacked.

On the other hand, US and Iranian media reported today that the United States and Israel attacked Kharg Island, a major Iranian oil export hub, but did not target oil facilities. (Compiled by Yang Zhaoyan) 1150407
