USA rescues downed airman from Iran

Donald Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s infrastructure if it does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by a revised Tuesday evening deadline, while still suggesting a deal could be reached quickly.

Iran has blocked the key waterway during the conflict, saying it will reopen it only after receiving compensation for war damage.

The situation remains tense despite ongoing last-minute negotiations to allow safe passage for oil tankers.

Meanwhile, Trump announced the dramatic rescue of a downed US airman deep inside Iran, calling it an unprecedented and highly dangerous mission, The Telegraph has reported.

The broader conflict continues to escalate, with military actions and strikes involving Iran, the US, and regional forces intensifying.
