HIBAPRESS: On Saturday, US President Donald Trump reminded Iran that 48 hours remained of the deadline he had set for it to reach an agreement to end the ongoing war, which has been going on for more than a month, warning that it would face "hell" if that did not happen.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: "Remember when I gave Iran ten days to reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz? Time is running out, 48 hours remain before hell descends upon them!" The war between the United States and Iran entered its sixth week, amid an escalation in political and field rhetoric, with the focus shifting from the exchange of airstrikes to a wider conflict on the Strait of Hormuz and infrastructure, where Iran said that an area near its nuclear facility in Bushehr was attacked, resulting in the death of a guard and the destruction of a building. This comes after two American fighter jets crashed last Friday, in a rare development, as a fighter jet crashed inside Iranian territory, and a search and rescue operation for its crew members began, while the "New York Times" reported that a second American fighter jet of the "A-10 Warthog" type crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, and that its pilot was rescued. US President Donald Trump said that his country is capable, with more time, of opening the Strait of Hormuz and "taking the oil and making a fortune." His words came a day after he hinted at striking Iranian bridges and power stations, and also said that the American army "has not yet begun to destroy what remains in Iran." This came 48 hours before the expiration of the deadline set by Trump regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and otherwise attacking Iranian power stations, at a time when he also hinted at expanding the bank of targets inside Iran, to include bridges and power stations, while the war continued to disrupt markets and increase pressure on his administration. The American-Israeli raids on several cities in Iran continue, which responds by targeting Israel and American facilities with missiles and drones. In the latest field developments, Iranian media mentioned that explosions rocked Pishva, southeast of Tehran province. The latest American-Israeli strikes on Iran targeted several sites of it. In addition to the petrochemical complex in Ahvaz and the vicinity of the Bushehr nuclear base, a warehouse of ammunition and a base for the ground forces of the Revolutionary Guard in Isfahan were targeted, as well as the 8th Tactical Air Base in Isfahan, the 10th base of the Iranian army in Sistan and Baluchistan province, military bases and missile launch platforms in the mountains north of Tehran, the Institute for Visual and Nuclear Research at Beheshti University in Tehran, and naval docks in Jark port in Hormozgan. American-Israeli strikes also targeted a cement factory in southern Iran, according to local media reports on Saturday, confirming that it did not lead to the cessation of production operations. In return, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced the targeting of an Israeli-linked ship in the Strait of Hormuz with a drone. The statement of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy, which was reported by the "Fares" agency, stated that a drone hit the "MSC Ishika" ship linked to Israel in the Strait of Hormuz, which led to a major fire on board the ship. In Israel, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced the targeting of Israeli military industrial centers and sites, as part of the 94th wave of the "True Promise-4" operation. The statement of the Revolutionary Guard, which was reported by the Iranian Broadcasting and Television Corporation, indicated that targets were hit in Tel Aviv, Dimona, the Negev, Beersheba, and Ramat Gan, using suicide drones and "Emad", "Khyber Shekan", and "Khorramshahr" missiles.
