US Hits Iran's Oil Hub, Threatens Ground Troops

0:00It's April 7. This is Europe News Today, powered by AI bringing you what matters across the continent. U.S. forces just hit military targets on Iran's key oil hub, Carg Island, for the second time in this conflict, according to a White House official. Speaking off the record, this came hours before President Trump's deadline for Iran to back down or face a massive assault. He even warned that a whole civilization could end. That night, if no deal happened, Trump's also floated sending ground troops to grab that vital oil setup. But experts say it had caused tons of American lives and wouldn't wrap up the war anytime soon. Earlier strikes there took out air defenses, a radar spot, an airport, and a hovercraft base, based on satellite checks from think tanks. Meanwhile, blasts rocked two bridges and a train station elsewhere in Iran, while officials there called on young folks to link arms and shield power, plants. The tensions only wrapping up from here.
