The United States carried out strikes on 50 military targets on Kharg Island in Iran on Tuesday. The attack came hours before a ceasefire deadline set by Donald Trump. Kharg Island is a key oil export centre for Iran. Reports said missile sites and military storage were hit. Oil facilities were mostly not damaged. Iran warned it may respond and target energy systems linked to the US and its allies. Tensions remain high as both sides show no sign of backing down before the deadline. (PC: Reuters)
