In a bold and high-stakes operation, U.S. special forces successfully rescued an airman from Iran amid growing tensions between Washington and Tehran. The airman, a weapons officer, had been stranded after an F-15 jet was downed.

Simultaneously, President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to Iran, demanding the reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz. Trump's threats came alongside reports of ongoing U.S.-Israeli military operations against Iranian targets, further straining international relations as oil flow disruptions loom.
