Gunfire was reported near the Israeli Consulate in Istanbul on April 7, as tensions across the Middle East escalated amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran war crisis. According to Reuters and Turkish media, three people attacked a police station outside the Israeli mission. The shooting came at a critical moment, as Donald Trump continued pressuring Iran to accept a deal and open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump reportedly gave Iran until 8 p.m. ET on April 7 to agree or face bombing, while Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan work as mediators in ongoing U.S.-Iran talks.
