US Air Strikes on Kharg Island, Iranian Media: Key Infrastructure Unaffected

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), citing "Mehr News Agency," reported that the situation on Kharg Island has been brought under control, with oil facilities and supporting operations unaffected and activities continuing as normal. U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his ultimatum, demanding Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8 PM U.S. Eastern Time (8 AM Taipei time on the 8th), or he would bomb Iran's infrastructure. He wrote today on his social media platform "Truth Social": "An entire civilization will be destroyed tonight, never to recover. I don't want to see this happen, but it likely will." Trump's statement still leaves a way out, saying "perhaps some beautifully revolutionary thing will happen." According to the U.S. news website Axios, citing one U.S. official, one Israeli official, and two informed sources, the probability of reaching a ceasefire agreement before Trump's deadline of 8 PM U.S. Eastern Time on the 7th is not high.
