Donald Trump Iran deal: Iran war to end on Monday? Donald Trump says Tehran may make deal tomorrow, claims report
“I think there’s a good chance tomorrow, they’re negotiating right now,” the president told a Fox News reporter. “If they don’t make a deal quickly, I’m thinking of blowing up the whole thing and taking over oil,” he added.
US special forces rescued an airman shot down in Iran in a complex operation that averted a possible crisis for President Donald Trump, who has made new threats to intensify attacks if Tehran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump announced the rescue operation in a social media post early Sunday, calling the operation in a mountainous region of Iran “one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History.”
The airman, the weapons officer of the F-15 jet that was shot down on Friday, was injured but “will be okay,” Trump said in a message published on The pilot of the plane was rescued on Friday.
While the impact of the closure of the Bosphorus on the global economy deepened day by day, the rescue of the US airman eliminated the risk of a hostage crisis for Trump and further deteriorated the mood of the American public, which was already skeptical of the war.
A US official said the operation, which he said was aided by Israel, involved dozens of military aircraft and was met with fierce resistance from Iranian forces.
The Iranian military said that several US aircraft, including two military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters, were destroyed during the operation. Images posted on social media showed burnt plane wreckage, which Reuters confirmed was in the area.
