We begin today with the latest on the conflict in the Middle East. U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening massive strikes on Iranian infrastructure if Tehran fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday, while simultaneously suggesting a diplomatic breakthrough is imminent. The stark ultimatum comes just hours after U.S. special operations forces successfully extracted a downed American aviator from deep within Iranian territory. Kim Do-yeon has the latest.

stark ultimatum 냉혹한 최후통첩
----------------------
U.S. President Donald Trump has extended the deadline for a negotiated settlement with Iran by 24 hours, giving Tehran until 8:00 P.M. U.S. Eastern Time on Tuesday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The extension was accompanied by a profanity-laced ultimatum on social media on Sunday local time, in which Trump threatened to turn Tuesday into, quote, "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day."

Demanding the immediate reopening of the critical shipping lane, he also warned Iran's leadership that it would be a living hell if they failed to comply, underscoring his readiness to authorize massive strikes on core infrastructure. The social media posts came just hours after a Fox News interview, where the U.S. President projected optimism, stating that an agreement is highly likely by the new Tuesday deadline.

He confirmed that active negotiations are currently underway. The aggressive public threats, alongside diplomatic engagement, appear calculated to reassure global financial markets while applying maximum pressure on Tehran. Trump added a final warning that if the current talks collapse, the U.S. will not hesitate to seize Iranian oil assets and systematically destroy key infrastructure.

This follows a successful military operation deep inside Iranian territory. U.S. special operations forces, spearheaded by Navy SEAL Team 6, rescued an American Air Force colonel, the second occupant of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran on Friday. The weapons systems officer evaded capture for more than 24 hours in hostile, mountainous terrain before a 48-hour extraction mission brought him to Kuwait for medical treatment.

The aircraft's pilot had already been rescued. During the exfiltration, U.S. forces deliberately destroyed two of their own disabled transport aircraft to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands, directly contradicting claims from Iranian state media that a U.S. military plane was shot down during the search.
