On April 7, 2026, the US military launched strikes on Iran's Kharg Island, according to an unidentified senior US official reported by Axios. This military action comes as President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, demanding a response by 8 PM, which he emphasized during a Fox News interview, stating '8 p.m. is happening.' Trump’s threats have escalated, with him warning that failure to reach a deal could lead to catastrophic consequences, including the potential use of nuclear weapons, although the White House has denied any implication of such actions by Vice President JD Vance.
