US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday, April 5, the successful rescue of the second pilot of an American F-15 fighter jet, which Iran had shot down over its territory. According to Trump, the American military carried out "one of the boldest search and rescue operations." The pilot was injured but is now safe. The rescue took place more than two days after the aircraft was shot down, with American special forces carrying out a dramatic mission on Iranian territory. The US Air Force lost several aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars during the operation. dennikn.sk ↗

The conflict continues to escalate due to Trump's 48-hour ultimatum from Saturday, April 4. According to him, Iran had time until Monday, April 6, to conclude a peace agreement with the United States or open up the Strait of Hormuz. On Sunday, Trump vulgarly threatened Tehran with attacks on Iranian power plants and bridges if it did not open up this strategic strait. On the social network Truth Social, he expressed himself vulgarly and in crude terms. This threat caused oil prices on world markets to rise above 110 dollars per barrel. SITA ↗

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated on Monday that Trump's threats to attack power plants and bridges in Iran could be considered war crimes. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also suggested that the American operation to rescue the pilot could have been a cover for obtaining enriched uranium from Iranian territory. hnonline.sk ↗

Despite the escalation, Trump signals openness to negotiations. On Sunday, he admitted that a deal with Iran could be reached as early as Monday. However, on Monday, April 6, Trump did not approve the ceasefire proposal between the US and Iran submitted by Pakistan and intends to continue the war, as reported by the AFP agency citing a White House official. hlavnespravy.sk ↗

A remarkable incident condemns this development — just five minutes after Trump's announcement of the postponement of attacks on Iran, a suspicious oil trade worth approximately 1.5 billion dollars took place on the stock exchanges. According to experts, identifying the perpetrator of this trade is very difficult. novinky.cz ↗

The international community is reacting to Trump's threats with concern. The President of the European Council condemned the destruction of civilian targets. The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called Trump a "madman" and called on the Gulf states to take action against the United States. aktuality.sk ↗
