Iran war: Iran claims downing of 2 US planes; Hormuz ‘deadline’ looms
- Iran claims the downing of two C-130 planes and two Black Hawk helicopters belonging to the US. State television broadcast footage of wreckage, saying it belonged to one of the planes.
- This claim comes hours after US President Donald Trump says the American officer who went missing in Iran after the downing of his F-15E fighter jet has been rescued and is “now safe and sound”.
- Trump also warns that “all hell” will rain down on Iran if it does not reach a peace deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday. Tehran rejects what it calls a “helpless and nervous” ultimatum.
- An Iranian drone attack has hit a storage tank at Bahrain’s main fuel facility, causing a fire, while UAE authorities say Iranian attacks caused multiple fires at a petrochemicals plant.
- Iran says US-Israeli attacks have killed five people and wounded 170 at the Mahshahr Petrochemical Zone and more than 30 universities have been targeted since the beginning of the war.
