Fresh reports indicate a significant vertical escalation in the conflict as multiple strikes target Iran’s critical infrastructure. The US military has reportedly hit Kharg Island, a vital oil export hub through which 90% of Iran’s oil passes, along with bridges and highways. In Karaj, a major railway hub, an attack on a railway line has resulted in casualties, including two deaths. India Today’s Gaurav Sawant explains that these strikes aim to degrade Iran’s military capabilities and disrupt replenishment routes through the Caspian Sea. Geeta Mohan notes that the escalation comes just hours before a key deadline, with Iran rejecting a 15-point US proposal as ‘too maximalist’. The objective has shifted towards reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which remains shut despite President Donald Trump’s warnings. Experts describe these early strikes as ‘messaging’ from Washington and Tel Aviv, signaling that civilian and economic infrastructure including power plants and transport lines are now in the crosshairs as diplomacy falters.
