00:07As-salamu alaykum, you're watching SNN 24 News, I'm your host.
00:13Tonight's top story, tensions in the Middle East are reaching a critical point as the
00:18risk of a wider war continues to grow.
00:21Donald Trump has issued a new and severe warning to Iran, saying the United States could launch
00:27widespread strikes on Iranian infrastructure if a deal is not reached soon.
00:32These potential targets include oil facilities, power plants, and even desalination plants that
00:38supply drinking water.
00:40Despite claiming that diplomatic talks are making progress, Trump warned that if negotiations
00:45fail and if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the U.S. could dramatically expand its military
00:52operations.
00:53He also suggested that American forces could move to take control of Karg Island, a key
00:59hub for Iran's oil exports.
01:01Meanwhile, the conflict on the ground continues to intensify.
01:05Iran has reportedly struck a major water and electricity facility in Kuwait, while an oil
01:11refinery in Israel has also come under attack.
01:14In another alarming development, a drone strike hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker near Dubai waters, causing
01:21a fire that emergency teams worked to bring under control.
01:24At the same time, U.S. and Israeli forces have launched a new wave of airstrikes inside
01:30Iran, signaling a further escalation in the conflict.
01:33Although Washington claims progress in diplomacy, Iranian officials have denied direct negotiations
01:40and dismissed these statements.
01:42Experts warn that targeting civilian infrastructure could raise serious legal concerns under international
01:48law, especially if it leads to excessive harm to civilians.
01:52The situation in the Middle East remains tense, with global attention focused on what happens
01:57next.
