U.S. President Donald Trump has set a deadline of 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday for Iran to agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face military action against its infrastructure. Trump threatened to destroy Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran does not comply, dismissing concerns over potential war crimes. Iran has rejected a proposed 45-day ceasefire, insisting on a permanent resolution to the conflict. The escalating situation has drawn warnings from U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, highlighting that attacking civilian infrastructure is prohibited under international law. Recent military actions have led to over 1,900 deaths in Iran and significant casualties in Lebanon, with ongoing exchanges of fire between Israel and Iranian forces. A missile strike attributed to Iran in the United Arab Emirates injured two individuals, further heightening tensions in the region.
