The war between the U.S. and Iran entered its 37th day Sunday, with fighting ongoing despite President Donald Trump’s claim that Iran had been "completely decimated." 

More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran, along with dozens more across the region, as the conflict continues to widen.

Tensions escalated this weekend after Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to "make a deal" or reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route. Iranian officials warned that further attacks, especially on nuclear sites, could have catastrophic regional consequences, raising fears of a broader crisis.

Trump: Deal with Iran possible by Monday

During a phone call with Fox correspondent Trey Yingst, President Trump reportedly said a deal to end the conflict in Iran could be reached by Monday. 

2 p.m. ET: Senior Trump administration officials told Fox News how U.S. forces were able to rescue an airman whose plane was shot down inside Iran. 

According to Fox News, the CIA deflected enemy attention with a "deception campaign." 

The CIA spread word in Iran through multiple sources that U.S. forces had already found the second of two airmen who ejected from their F-15, and were moving him out of Iran in a maritime exfiltration elsewhere, sources told Fox News, but that was designed to buy time to find the stranded weapons system officer.

The CIA picked up a distress signal, passing the intelligence on to the Pentagon and White House, which ordered the immediate rescue mission, according to sources.

Once the CIA confirmed Saturday morning that this was not a trap, the missing airman was located using advanced technical capabilities.

The U.S. used MQ9 Reaper drones to protect the area around where the airman was hiding and fired on anything that came close to that area and any area where U.S. forces were operating to prevent crowds or any Iranians from approaching, sources confirmed to Fox News.

Trump to Iran: "Open the f****n' strait..."

President Donald Trump on Sunday made new, expletive-laden threats to escalate strikes on Iran and its infrastructure if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz by his deadline, after American forces rescued an aviator whose Iran-downed plane fell behind enemy lines.

8:57 a.m. ET: President Trump renewed his threats against Iran Sunday in a profanity-laced post on Truth Social, saying "you'll be living in Hell" if the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for oil shipments, isn't reopened by Tuesday.

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," Trump wrote on Sunday. "There will be nothing like it!!! Open the [F***in'] Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP."

U.S. rescues aviator shot down in Iran

 The United States said Sunday it rescued a service member missing behind enemy lines since Iran downed a fighter jet, as President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Tehran with a new looming deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

A U.S. service member who had been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet Friday was rescued, President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post early Sunday.

Trump wrote that the aviator is injured but "will be just fine," adding that he took refuge "in the treacherous mountains of Iran."

Trump said the rescue involved "dozens of aircraft" and that U.S. had been monitoring his location "24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue."

A second crew member was rescued the day the aircraft was shot down. It was one of two military planes to go down on Friday.
