This morning, President Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is a day away
0:07
with a warning of major consequences if it doesn't happen. As that clock ticks down
0:12
the U.S. and Israel are escalating strikes. Overnight, U.S. and Israeli forces launched
0:17
a new wave of strikes on Tehran, killing more than 25 people, including a top intelligence
0:22
official in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Iran fired back, launching missiles at Israel and
0:28
targets across the region. In northern Israel, a missile strike hit a residential building in
0:33
Haifa, killing at least two people. And across the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the United
0:39
Arab Emirates say they activated air defense systems to intercept incoming missiles and drones
0:45
Diplomatic efforts are still underway, with mediators pushing for a ceasefire, but

plants and bridges by Tuesday. The U.S. has already hit major infrastructure, including key
1:11
bridges, following Trump's address last week, where he said operations were nearing an end
1:16
while also promising more strikes. Iran's Revolutionary Guard responded Sunday, saying the strait will, quote, never return to its former state, and warning a new security order
1:27
is taking shape in the Persian Gulf. And a new banner has gone up in Tehran's Engelab Square
1:34
reading in Persian, quote, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. The entire Persian Gulf
1:39
is our hunting ground. It is not clear who put it up
