The war involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran has entered a high-stakes race against the clock. Following the downing of a U.S. F-15E fighter jet, President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face "hell," while U.S. Special Forces and Iranian agents are now reportedly in a "dead heat" to recover the missing American crew member still on the ground in Iran.

On the front lines, the conflict has moved from infrastructure to industrial and nuclear targets. Israel confirmed it struck Iranian petrochemical plants, while a projectile hit near the Bushehr nuclear facility, killing a security guard and prompting Russia to evacuate nearly 200 more staff from the site. Meanwhile, the Artemis II mission offers a rare moment of distance from the chaos, with the crew passing the halfway point to the Moon and reporting that their target is "definitely getting bigger."
