Trump vows ‘hell’ for Iran if Strait stays shut, says a deal is possiblePresident Donald Trump threatened to rain “hell” on Tehran if it did not make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by his Tuesday deadline, as he praised U.S. special forces who rescued an airman in a high-risk mission deep inside Iran. President DONALD J. TRUMP”MIXED MESSAGESIn the kind of mixed messaging that has baffled supporters, foes and financial markets alike, Trump told Fox News on Sunday that Iran was negotiating, with a deal possible by Monday. About 3,540 have been killed in Iran since the war erupted, including at least 244 children, said U.S.-based rights group HRANA. Their commanders made a high-risk decision, ordering additional aircraft to fly into Iran to extract the group in waves. U.S. troops destroyed the disabled MC‑130s and four additional helicopters in Iran, rather than risk leaving behind sensitive equipment.
