Iran’s IRGC says it will respond outside the region and deprive US and its allies of oil and gas “for many years” if the US crosses “red lines” and attacks civilian facilities.
In his latest threat to Iran, the US president says, “A whole civilisation will die tonight,” with the deadline he imposed for the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz mere hours away.
A strike has hit a rail bridge in Iran’s Kashan, killing two, after Israel warned civilians to keep clear of the country’s train network until 9pm (18:30 GMT).
Trump says Iran’s response to the US ceasefire proposal, conveyed through intermediaries, is “significant”, but “not good enough”.
