• U.S. President Donald Trump set a Tuesday 8 p.m. EDT deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges if the deadline is not met, raising concerns about potential war crimes.
• Iran urged its youth to form human chains around power plants to protect them from potential U.S. strikes, while Israel warned Iranians to avoid trains, indicating possible targeted attacks on rail infrastructure.
• The conflict has caused oil prices to surge over 50% since the war began, with international leaders like France and New Zealand calling for restraint and warning against escalation.
• The death toll exceeds 1,900 in Iran, with significant casualties in Lebanon, Israel, Gulf Arab states, and among U.S. service members, while diplomatic efforts continue despite Iran rejecting a recent ceasefire proposal.
