Here's the latest
• NOW: US President Donald Trump is holding a news conference on the Iran war. He said Iran could be “taken out in one night,” which “might” be Tuesday — a deadline he previously appeared to set for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He also recounted the rescue of a US service member from inside Iran this weekend.
• Rejected ceasefire proposal: Trump earlier called a proposal drafted by countries working to implement 45-day ceasefire a “significant step” but “not good enough.” Iran also rejected the proposal and called for a permanent end to the war, according to Iranian state-run media.
• Attacks on infrastructure: Trump reiterated threats to hit Iranian bridges and power plants, after Israel said it struck a key petrochemical complex in Iran. Tehran says the consequences of infrastructure attacks will stretch beyond the region.
• Latest strikes: The Israel Defense Forces said it killed two senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials. Four people were killed in an Iranian strike on Haifa, Israel.

President Donald Trump recounted some of the harrowing ordeal faced by the service member the US military rescued from inside Iran over the weekend after his F-15E fighter jet was shot down.
Trump said the weapons systems officer scaled steep terrain with his “face bleeding rather profusely” after ejecting from his plane.
“The officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and started climbing toward a higher altitude, something they were trained to do in order to evade capture,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The officer treated his own wounds and contacted American forces to transit his location, Trump said.
The massive mobilization of US forces to conduct the rescue involved 155 aircraft, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 refueling tankers, 13 rescue aircraft and more, Trump said.
It also included a subterfuge operation meant to confuse the Iranians over the downed officer’s whereabouts.
“We wanted them to look in different areas. So we were scattered all over,” Trump said.
