Strikes Hit Tehran As Trump Deadline Nears
"Iranian media reported multiple explosions across Tehran and the sound of air defense fire, with some accounts describing fighter jets flying at low altitude over the capital."
"Homayoun Sameyah, the Jewish community's representative in Iran's parliament, told state media that the building was 'ancient' and 'sacred,' and that Torah scrolls remained buried under the rubble."
"US President Donald Trump announced the deadline of 8 p.m. US Eastern Time, warning that 'the entire country' of Iran 'could be taken out in one night -- and that night might be tomorrow night.'"
"Tehran submitted a 10-point peace proposal through Pakistani mediators, but the plan rejected a temporary cease-fire and instead called for a permanent end to hostilities."
On April 7, US and Israeli air strikes hit multiple locations in Tehran and Qom, coinciding with a deadline for Iran to agree to a peace deal. Iranian media reported explosions and air defense fire, with a historic synagogue among the sites damaged. Iran retaliated by striking Tel Aviv, causing damage but no injuries. US President Trump warned of severe consequences for Iran if a deal was not reached, while Iran proposed a peace plan that rejected a cease-fire and included unacceptable conditions for the US and Israel.
