Iran just shot down a 45-day ceasefire proposal from the U.S. insisting on a full permanent end to the war. Meanwhile, President Trump's deadline looms as he ramps up threats to hit every power plant and bridge in the country. The UN Secretary General is warning that striking civilian spots breaks international law. Early Tuesday, Israel launched fresh attacks on Iran and Iran fired back missiles at Israel plus some Gulf Arab states. Americans are spiking across the region with no signs of cooling off. The human toll is brutal, a thousand nine hundred dead in Iran since this started, though no fresh numbers in days. Lebanon seen over 1,400 killed and a million displaced. At 11 Israeli soldiers there, two dozen in Gulf states and the West Bank, 23 in Israel and 13 U.S. troops lost. Now a major bridge, the 15 and a half-mile King Fad Khazway linking Saudi Arabia to Bahrain, shot down over Iranian threats. It's the only roadling for Bahrain where the U.S. Navy's fifth fleet sits.

Saudi Arabia also reported debris from seven Iranian missiles landing near key energy sites with damaged checks ongoing. This back and forth keeps the powder keg lit and eyes stay glued on Trump's next move as the region braces for whatever drops. This has been Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey, with the story.
