AP reported Saturday that President Donald Trump gave Iran 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz as the conflict between the two countries escalated.

The ultimatum came as the search continued for a missing U.S. service member after a fighter jet was shot down over Iran. Later AP coverage said the missing aviator had been rescued.

The White House has said Operation Epic Fury remains ongoing, underscoring that the military campaign has not ended. Official statements from earlier in the conflict described continued strikes against Iranian targets.

Iranian state media and AP previously reported that Tehran rejected a U.S. ceasefire proposal, adding another layer of uncertainty to the diplomatic track.

The latest developments point to a fast-moving conflict that is now spanning diplomacy, maritime security and military operations. The rescue of the U.S. service member removes one immediate uncertainty, but the broader confrontation remains unresolved.
