Overview
- The White House scheduled a news conference after U.S. forces recovered a missing airman inside Iran in a weekend operation.
- The rescue followed the downing of an American F-15E by Iranian fire, and officials say the final push used more than 150 planes and over 200 munitions as the officer survived with only a handgun.
- President Trump renewed an ultimatum that Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz, threatening strikes on power plants and bridges if Tehran refuses.
- The administration says a Pakistani proposal for a 45-day ceasefire to reopen the waterway is under review and not yet approved.
- Legal experts warn civilian infrastructure strikes could violate international law, Iran vows a decisive response, and the White House says U.S. actions will follow the law.
