00:02U.S. President Donald Trump has once again escalated threats against Iran as Washington's
00:09deadline for Tehran approaches. Trump has threatened further strikes on Iranian power plants and other
00:15critical infrastructure if Iran fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz before Tuesday night.
00:21The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
00:27Trump detailed the rescue of one of the two U.S. military pilots shot down by Iranian forces.
00:34He described a large-scale operation involving 155 aircraft as well as efforts to mislead Iranian
00:41forces about the search location. He scaled cliff faces, bleeding rather profusely, treated his own
00:50wounds and contacted American forces to transmit his location.
00:58Earlier on Monday, Iran has rejected a proposed 45-day ceasefire and called instead for a permanent
01:05end to the war. Meanwhile, fighting continues across the region. Israel and the United States
01:11carried out new strikes on Iran that reportedly killed more than 25 people. New figures suggest
01:17that more than 5,200 people have been killed across the Middle East since the war began on the 28th
01:24of February.
