US EditionTrump: ‘Iran can be taken out in one night,’ could happen Tuesday
Trump said Iran could face strikes on its power plants and bridges unless it reopens the Strait of Hormuz by his Tuesday deadline.
- President Donald Trump set an 8 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to destroy bridges and power plants if Tehran failed to comply.
- Escalating tensions followed the Friday shootdown of a U.S. F-15E fighter jet, which triggered a high-risk rescue operation that successfully recovered both airmen by Sunday.
- CIA Director John Ratcliffe led a "deception campaign" using 155 aircraft to rescue the weapons officer, who survived 48 hours hiding in a mountain crevice.
- Rejecting a proposed 45-day ceasefire on Monday, Iran demanded a permanent end to hostilities and broader regional guarantees, according to IRNA.
- Analysts warn that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil, could push prices to $150 a barrel, threatening economic growth.
