The US has struck military targets on Iran's Kharg Island, the crown jewel of the nation's oil production capabilities.
Axios, citing a senior US official, reported the attack took place several hours before Donald Trump's deadline for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm EST or else face a wave of destruction against Iran's civilian infrastructure.
Donald Trump said Iran's entire 'civilization will die tonight' after the Islamic regime rejected his peace demands as the clock ticks down toward the President's deadline to unleash 'hell' on the country.
Trump told his followers on Truth Social: 'A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.'
The President's deadline is set expire at by 8 PM ET on Tuesday.
'However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?'
Trump added, 'We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.
God Bless the Great People of Iran!'
The US hit approximately 50 military targets on Kharg Island overnight, a crucial Iranian oil export hub, as fears grow over a potential ground invasion to seize it.
Bunkers, a radar station, and ammunition storage were hit by US airstrikes, according to senior administration officials.
Footage emerged on social media showing the aftermath of the destruction on the island.
The escalating military action comes after senior Iranian officials rejected a proposal conveyed by intermediaries for a temporary ceasefire with the US, according to Reuters.
The Islamic regime showed no sign of agreeing to Trump’s demand to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The passageway is a critical chokepoint through which roughly 20 to 25 percent of the world’s seaborne oil passes.

The President said Iran had until the end of Tuesday to restore access to the passageway or face strikes on civilian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants, in what would mark the biggest escalation of the war so far.
Trump noted during a White House press conference on Monday that 'very little is off limits' from attacks if Iran did not agree to his demands, adding that 'every power plant will be destroyed, every bridge.'
Global oil markets have spun out of control as Trump's deadline nears and Iran refuses to reopen the strait.
The war has sparked the world's biggest ever disruption to energy supplies, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned.
Gas prices in the US have skyrocketed to $4.14 on average nationwide, an increase by over a dollar since the war begun.
Trump has previously set multiple deadlines for Iran but failed to follow through on threats to send the country back to the 'stone age' after it refused his demands.
Global markets remain largely frozen, as investors are hesitant to bet on whether Trump will actually follow through on his threats or call them off at the last minute.
After rejecting Trump's offer, Iran threatened to retaliate against strikes to their energy supply by bombing the water supply for US allies in the region.
Gulf nations remain reliant on desalination plants because their cities are surrounded by a desert.
Iran's United Nations envoy said Trump's deadline was a 'direct incitement to terrorism and provide clear evidence of intent to commit war crimes under international law.'
The regime's military command noted the President was 'delusional.'
Trump said he would target power plants and civilian bridges

During a press conference with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Budapest, JD Vance claimed 'very shortly, this war will conclude'.
The Vice President added that the US has 'largely accomplished it's military objectives.'
Vance also reporters that more negotiations are expected before Trump's deadline 12 hours from now: 'I'm hopeful that it gets to a good resolution.'
