US rescues airman as Trump, Israel pressure Iran ahead of deadline

The United States rescued a missing airman from one of two warplanes downed in Iran, U.S. officials said, the second crew member from an F15 after the first had been recovered. As the war that began February 28 grinds on, President Donald Trump and Israel intensified pressure on Tehran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on energy facilities. Trump warned on Truth Social that 48 hours remain on his deadline. The conflict has killed thousands, triggered an energy crisis, and threatens the global economy after Iran virtually shut the strategic waterway.
