As of 10:30 PM Beijing Time on April 7, the US-Iran situation has entered an extremely high-risk “last 10 hours” phase. Both sides have sent their strongest signals of confrontation, and diplomatic channels have been completely shut down.
🚨 Core Developments: Ultimatum and Complete Breakoff
Trump’s “Doomsday Warning”: Trump posted on social media, explicitly warning, “Tonight, all of civilization may perish.” The final deadline set by the White House is 8:00 PM Eastern Time on April 7 (8:00 AM Beijing Time on April 8). It threatens that if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it will destroy all bridges and power plants in Iran within 4 hours.
Iran shuts all channels: Iran’s official announcement said it has cut off all diplomatic and indirect communication channels with the United States (including intermediaries such as Switzerland and Oman), clearly stating that there is “no negotiation,” and refusing to trade the opening of the strait for “empty promises.”
Iran responds to the threats: Senior Iranian sources warned that if the US attacks power plants, Iran and its allies will plunge “all of the Middle East into darkness,” and may also shut the Strait of Mandeb, completely locking down the energy passageway through the Red Sea.
💥 Real-Time Military and Market Impacts
Military escalation: Israel has launched large-scale airstrikes on Iran’s capital Tehran airport and southern petrochemical facilities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said “restraint is over,” threatening strikes on US and Israeli infrastructure.
Market reaction: WTI crude oil surged as high as $116.50 per barrel, and gold broke through $4690 per ounce. Market panic around the 08:00 mark has reached its peak.
⚠️ Risk Warning
8:00 AM Beijing Time on April 8 is the decisive moment. In a “no communication” situation, any misjudgment could lead to a full-scale war breaking out. It is advised to closely monitor real-time news at this time point.
