Trump’s deadline: US President Donald Trump appeared to set a “Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time” deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, following a profanity-laced message warning of attacks on its infrastructure.
• Iran’s threats: Iranian officials responded with threats that the region could “burn,” and said the strait would only reopen when they were “fully compensated” for war damages.
• Latest strikes: Six children were among those killed in overnight Israeli-US strikes on Iran, state media reported. Two people were killed and two are missing after an Iranian strike on a residential building in Haifa, Israel.
• Airman rescue: Meanwhile, Trump will hold a news conference later today on the rescue of an F-15 crew member whose jet was downed over Iran. Newly released satellite images showed multiple craters along roads in the area where the airman was extracted.
