US, Israel, Iran trade attacks; Trump makes new threats while pushing for peace deal
Trump set April 6 deadline for Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz and threatened to seize Kharg Island, which handles nearly 90% of Iran's oil exports, amid ongoing military actions.
- President Donald Trump extended the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to April 6, while threatening to seize Kharg Island, which carries nearly 90% of Iranian oil exports.
- The threats follow Monday's bombing of an Israeli oil refinery in Haifa by Iran, with Trump sharing footage of fireballs near an Iranian nuclear facility in Isfahan as the likely U.S. response.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president remains open to a deal but stated it 'does not deter him from focusing on the military objectives that he set out 30 days ago.'
- AAA reports the national average for a gallon of regular gas is $4.02, up more than $1 since the war began on Feb. 28, mirroring price surges from 2022.
- Experts warn seizing Kharg Island could require ground troop deployment, while Iran's Foreign Ministry denied reports of negotiations with America regarding a potential ceasefire.
