00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,880
I'm Alice Beth, and this is your
latest NEWS UPDATE from GLOBAL

00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,640
News Daily. 
U.S. 

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,640
President Donald Trump has 
issued one of his starkest 

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,800
warnings yet, saying a whole 
civilization will die tonight 

6
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,600
unless Iran agrees to reopen the
Strait of Hormuz. 

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,840
However, he also struck a more 
hopeful tone, suggesting that 

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,640
something revolutionary 
wonderful can happen before his 

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,479
deadline of 8:00 PM Eastern Time
on Tuesday. 

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,400
As the clock ticks down, U.S. 
military operations are 

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,360
continuing. 
American forces have carried out

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,880
new strikes on Karg Island, 
Iran's primary oil export hub 

13
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,680
and a key pillar of its economy.
Meanwhile, speaking in Budapest,

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,720
Vice President JD Vance said the
United States has additional 

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,800
options it has not yet used, but
added that its core military 

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,960
objectives in Iran have 
fundamentally been achieved. 

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
On the ground, violence 
continues. 

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080
Iranian state media report that 
two people were killed in a 

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,760
strike on a bridge in Kashian, 
just hours after Israel warned 

20
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,160
civilians to avoid train travel 
for their safety. 

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160
At the same time, Israel says 
Iran has launched more missiles 

22
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,560
toward its territory, while 
several Gulf nations report 

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
fresh strikes and interceptions 
overnight, a sign that the 

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,880
conflict is still spreading 
across the region.
