Trump warns Iran ’48 hours before all Hell will reign down’

The U.S. military is actively searching for a missing American airman following the downing of an F-15E fighter jet over southwestern Iran. One crew member has been rescued, but the other remains missing, with both U.S. and Iranian forces engaged in the search operation.

Iran and the U.S. have both confirmed that Tehran shot down the two-seat F-15E jet. Additionally, two U.S. officials disclosed that the pilot of a U.S. A-10 Warthog fighter aircraft that crashed in Kuwait after being hit by Iranian fire successfully ejected.

Two Black Hawk helicopters involved in the search for the missing crew member in Iran were targeted by Iranian fire but managed to leave Iranian airspace safely, according to two U.S. officials cited by Reuters.

The potential capture of the airman has raised concerns in Washington about Tehran gaining leverage. This incident marks the first time Iranian forces have successfully downed a U.S. combat aircraft since the conflict began.

President Donald Trump warned in a Truth Social post on Saturday, stating, “Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.”

Trump also announced an extension of a pause in attacking Iran’s energy facilities by 10 days at the request of the Iranian government. He mentioned in a televised address that he anticipates the Iran war to last another two to three weeks but believes the conflict is nearing its conclusion.

Iran’s Foreign Minister indicated a willingness to engage in peace talks with the U.S., with discussions on mediation from Pakistan. However, there was no indication of Tehran’s readiness to comply with Trump’s demands.

Pakistan reported that efforts to broker a ceasefire are progressing well.

Iran continued launching missiles and drones across the region, with the United Arab Emirates intercepting numerous incoming threats in the last 24 hours.

The media office of Dubai stated that the office of U.S. tech giant Oracle in Dubai suffered damage from falling debris, as Iran continued its retaliatory attacks in the Middle East.

“Authorities confirm that they responded to a minor incident caused by debris from an aerial interception that fell on the facade of the Oracle building in Dubai Internet City,” mentioned the Dubai Media Office in a post. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.

Oracle has not yet responded to CNBC’s request for comment.

A CNBC journalist in Dubai reported hearing multiple interceptions overnight.

According to a report by Bloomberg News, the U.S. military is reallocating a majority of its stealth Joint Air-to-Surface Missile-Extended Range (JASSM-ER) cruise missiles to the conflict in Iran, leaving only 425 of these missiles in reserve elsewhere.

The decision to transfer the $1.5 million weapons from stockpiles in the Pacific was made at the end of March, as reported by Bloomberg.

The Trump administration has revoked the green cards or U.S. visas of at least four Iranian nationals linked to the current or former Iranian government, including two individuals who are set to be deported after being detained by immigration authorities.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio determined that they were no longer eligible for lawful permanent resident status or entry into the United States, as reported by the Associated Press.

The State Department mentioned in a statement that the niece and grand-niece of the late Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps chief Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a U.S. airstrike in 2020, were arrested following the revocation of their green cards.

“Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” the statement disclosed, adding that Afshar’s husband is also barred from entering the U.S.

Afshar and her daughter, who have lived in Los Angeles for years, were vocal supporters of the Iranian government and anti-American activities, according to the statement.

Rubio emphasized in a post on social media that the Trump administration will not tolerate foreign nationals who endorse anti-American terrorist regimes.

During a separate incident, a projectile struck near Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant, resulting in the death of at least one worker and causing damage to part of the facility, according to Iranian authorities.
