TEHRAN: The Iranian capital witnessed a night of terror on Friday as several massive explosions were reported across the city. Eyewitnesses described it as one of the most terrifying nights since the escalation of the conflict. This follows the downing of a US F-15 fighter jet by Iranian forces.
While one of the two American pilots has been successfully rescued, search operations are still underway for the second crew member. To facilitate the rescue mission, Israel has reportedly suspended airstrikes in specific areas relevant to the search. In a significant statement, US President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to secure oil supplies.
Meanwhile, Iran has issued a stern warning that it will target US and Israeli energy and economic infrastructure if Washington continues to escalate attacks. The country also remains under a near-total internet blackout for the 35th consecutive day, leaving the local population largely isolated. (Iranintl)
