An Iraqi schoolboy holds a portrait of Iran's slain supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a anti-US and Israeli demonstration in Baghdad on on April 7, 2026. Iran said critical infrastructure, including two bridges, was struck April 7 by the United States and Israel, with US President Donald Trump warning "a whole civilisation will die" if a midnight deadline for a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz was not met. The strikes came as Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned they would deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas if Washington crossed Tehran's "red lines".
