Trump’s ‘Hellish’ ultimatum as hunt for airman continues

MIDDLE EAST WAR RAGES ON

- BY STEPHEN BEECH

DONALD Trump threatened to unleash “hell” on Iran if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened as the desperate search continued last night for a missing American airman.

The US President told the Tehran regime that “time is running out” to make a deal to reopen the crucial maritime waterway as Mr Trump’s 10-day deadline for Iran to agree a deal is due to expire tomorrow.

Taking to his Truth Social platform yesterday, he said: “Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the Hormuz Strait.

“Time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them. Glory be to God!”

Neither the President nor his administration have officially commented on the

missing US weapon systems officer who was on board a F-15 jet that was shot down over Iranian territory on Friday.

The two crew members ejected, triggering a race between Iranian and American forces to find the stranded aviators.
