Trump says a 'whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran deal isn't reached (pbs.org)

As a U.S. deadline approaches for Iran to agree to a deal involving reopening the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump warned that “a whole civilization will die tonight” and threatened attacks on Iran’s power plants and bridges. The report describes airstrikes hitting bridges, rail-linked targets, and other sites in Iran, alongside Iran’s firings toward Israel and Saudi Arabia, raising warnings from international officials that such strikes on civilian and energy infrastructure could violate laws of war. Diplomats say indirect talks continue while Iran rejects the latest American proposal and tensions escalate across the region.
