Tensions between the United States and Iran escalate as airstrikes target key infrastructure in the country. On Tuesday, US-led airstrikes hit two bridges and a train station in Iran, sparking concerns about the potential for further escalation. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have called on young people to form human chains to protect the country's power plants, amid fears of a potential US attack. The situation has taken a dramatic turn with US President Donald Trump issuing a stark warning, claiming that a "whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran fails to meet his deadline for a deal that includes the reopening of the crucial Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route. As the clock ticks down, the world waits with bated breath for Iran's response.
