Trump Gives Iran 48 Hours to Seal a Deal or Face 'Hell'
Trump warns Tehran of a 48-hour deadline to seal a deal or face 'hell' as a strike near a nuclear plant prompts evacuations, a missing airman, and new attacks linked to Iran-Israel tensions.
U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Saturday that Tehran had 48 hours to cut a deal or face 'all Hell', as Washington and Iranian forces scramble to locate a downed American airman after a strike near an Iranian nuclear power plant prompted evacuations.
Tehran announced fresh attacks in the region, while the Revolutionary Guards said they hit a commercial ship in Bahrain allegedly linked to Israel, escalating fears of a wider confrontation.
The conflict has stretched since U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran more than a month ago, threatening to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz and the global oil-and-gas flow. Iran’s leadership suggested the war could still be won even as it appears to be losing various battles.
On the ground, reports described ongoing search efforts for the missing airman with the involvement of popular forces and tribesmen alongside military units. Images circulating online showed Iranian police firing at a U.S. helicopter in southwestern Iran as forces searched for the crew. Iran also claimed to have shot down a U.S. F-15, with U.S. media reporting one pilot had been rescued while the other remained missing.
As the clock ticks, analysts say the next 48 hours will test whether diplomacy can avert a broader war or if the crisis widens further, threatening regional stability and global markets.
