President Trump on Saturday warned Iran that "time is running out" before the U.S. rains "all hell" down on the Middle East country.
"Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Time is running out - 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!"
Trump's warning comes after Iranian air defenses struck down two U.S. fighter jets on Friday. The military shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle over the country's airspace, with both crew members ejecting from the downed fighter. One service member was recovered but the status of the other remains unknown, prompting an ongoing search-and-rescue mission.
The second attack struck an A-10 Warthog attack plane, a close-air support jet. The plane reportedly entered Kuwaiti airspace, the pilot ejected and the plane crashed. The pilot was rescued.
Trump on Thursday had threatened more strikes on Iran's bridges and electrical infrastructure, warning that the U.S. military "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran." A prior strike hit the B1 bridge in Karaj, a city near Iran's capital of Tehran.
"IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday night after the bridge attack.
Trump last week extended the Pentagon's pause on striking Iranian energy infrastructure to April 6, following a request from Iran's government.
The president told the nation in a televised address on Wednesday that the military operation in Iran was "near completion." He has ramped up his threats on Iran to strike a deal with the U.S. and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has caused gas and oil prices to skyrocket.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) said the loss of two fighter jets, along with a U.S. Air Force UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and a second search-and-rescue helicopter that were both hit while searching for the second F-15E crew member, show that "Iran is winning the war."
"And now, just a day after he told the entire world -- all the American people -- that they had successfully taken out all of Iran's anti-aircraft capability, they've shot not just one but two aircraft out of the sky," Moulton said Friday. "So, obviously, Trump is way in over his head. He has no idea what he's doing, and he's lying to us once again."
