Amid escalating conflict, Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Benjamin Netanyahu, where Israel congratulated the US on successfully rescuing a pilot stranded in Iran. Trump acknowledged Israel’s support during the high-risk operation. Meanwhile, tensions continue to rise as Trump issues fresh ultimatums, with several critical Iranian power plants—such as Damavand, Shahid Salimi, and Bushehr—reportedly at risk. The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant remains a major concern due to potential radiation hazards if targeted. Diplomatic efforts have suffered a setback, as Iran rejected the US ceasefire proposal and refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining its blockade stance. During the rescue mission, clashes reportedly occurred between US and Iranian forces, while Iran claimed to have downed US aircraft, including C-130 planes and helicopters. Additionally, reports suggest the US is preparing to deploy a large portion of its cruise missile arsenal, signaling further escalation in the ongoing Middle East war.
