Trump: ‘Iran can be taken out in one night,’ could happen Tuesday

  • 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.
