U.S. Vice President Vance Reiterates Deadline for Iran as 8 PM EST Tuesday

Odaily News U.S. Vice President Vance reiterated that the deadline for Iran is 8 PM EST on Tuesday, stating that the attack on Kharg Island does not signify a strategic shift.

Previously, according to two U.S. officials, the United States launched strikes on military targets on Kharg Island early Tuesday (local time) ahead of the deadline set by Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. One of the officials stated that the U.S. struck over 50 targets on the island. Officials said the strikes were conducted early Tuesday EST, and the targets did not include oil infrastructure. Trump has set Tuesday evening (EST) as the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise it will face the risk of devastating strikes on its energy infrastructure. (Jin10)
