Trump\u2019s Iran Press Briefing: Ahead of the Tuesday deadline for bombing Iranian energy and infrastructure, President Donald Trump on Monday said Iran could be \u201ctaken out\u201d in a single night and suggested that such an operation \u201cmight\u201d happen as soon as Tuesday evening, escalating rhetoric as tensions deepen. \u201cThe entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night,\u201d Trump told reporters during a press conference at the White House.<\/p>\n
The US President\u2019s remarks came hours after Iran rejected a US ceasefire proposal, sending its response through Pakistan, according to state media. Instead of a temporary truce, Tehran laid out a 10-point framework calling for a permanent end to the war, including in Lebanon and Gaza, with guarantees that fighting will not resume.<\/p>\n
What Did Iran Demand in Its Ceasefire Proposal?<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s 10-point plan calls for the easing of sanctions, formal endorsement of Iran\u2019s nuclear rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, acknowledgment of Iran\u2019s jurisdiction over the Strait of Hormuz, and reimbursement for economic harm caused by the conflict. Trump said Tehran is seeking a ceasefire because it is \u201cgetting obliterated,\u201d adding that he has given Iranians opportunities to end the war, but \u201cthey haven\u2019t taken them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one that is going to set a ceasefire is me,\u201d he said. \u201cI haven\u2019t set any ceasefire.\u201d Trump also said he was \u201cvery upset\u201d with Iran and warned that Tehran is \u201cgoing to pay a big price\u201d if it fails to reach a deal.<\/p>\n
What Did Trump Reveal About the F-15 Rescue Mission?<\/p>\n
Trump detailed a high-risk US rescue operation inside Iran following the crash of an F-15 aircraft, in which two airmen ejected and landed \u201cdeep in enemy territory.\u201d Trump said the initial mission involved 21 aircraft flying under \u201cvery, very heavy enemy fire,\u201d with one helicopter returning riddled with bullets.<\/p>\n
\u201cA risky decision because we could have ended up with 100 dead as opposed to 1 or 2,\u201d Trump said, describing the operation as one of the most dangerous undertaken in recent years. The second phase escalated significantly, involving 155 aircraft\u2014including bombers, fighter jets, refueling tankers, and rescue units\u2014operating over Iranian territory for hours, at times in broad daylight.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of the aircraft were subterfuge,\u201d Trump said, noting that forces used multiple decoy routes at seven different locations. He described the survival efforts of one downed crew member who climbed through mountainous terrain while injured. \u201cHe scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds and contacted American forces. \u201cThe airman was later extracted by helicopter. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy that nobody was even injured,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n
What Attacks Are Happening Across the Region?<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s attacks across Israel and the Gulf show no signs of slowing, with strikes reported on key infrastructure including power facilities, water desalination plants and oil sites in Kuwait, along with an oil facility targeted in Bahrain.<\/p>\n
In response, Israel struck a major petrochemical facility at Iran\u2019s South Pars gas complex in Asaluyeh, targeting what it sees as a critical source of revenue for Tehran. The Israeli military also carried out fresh strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets across southern Lebanon.<\/p>\n
What Is the Status of the Tuesday Deadline?<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s warning that \u201cthat night might be tomorrow night\u201d suggests he may follow through on his threat of \u201cPower Plant Day and Bridge Day\u201d after previous deadlines expired without action. Earlier Monday, he had posted on Truth Social: \u201cTuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n
The White House has not confirmed whether military action is imminent. Trump\u2019s remarks about a potential single-night operation could be interpreted as either a genuine threat or negotiating leverage ahead of the deadline.<\/p>\n
