Overview
- Trump, who set a deadline of Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, warned he will hit Iranian power plants and bridges if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.
- U.S. special operations forces recovered a wounded F‑15E crew member inside Iran on Sunday in a covert mission that Iran says downed multiple U.S. aircraft, a claim U.S. and regional officials counter by saying disabled transports were destroyed to prevent capture.
- Iran maintains control of the waterway and has expanded attacks on Gulf energy and industrial sites, with Kuwait and the UAE reporting damage to power, petrochemical and port facilities.
- Fresh strikes early Monday hit areas near Tehran, with Iranian outlets reporting at least 13 people killed in Eslamshahr as cross‑border missile and drone attacks continued.
- Iran rejected a new ceasefire proposal as mediators discussed a reported 45‑day truce, and the chokepoint’s closure keeps oil markets on edge since the strait carries about one‑fifth of seaborne crude.
