I'm Iris Tao and for Steve Lance tonight, President Trump declaring Tuesday power plant and bridge day if Iran doesn't open the street of Hormuz.
This as a president top officials celebrate the historic rescue of two American airmen whose F-15 was shot down over Iran last week.
House correspondent Mariosu brings us the details.
>> This is a critical period.
We're giving them till tomorrow 8 o'clock Eastern time and after that they're gonna have no bridges.
They're gonna have no power plants.
Stone ages.
Yeah.
>> President Trump now vowing to wipe out Iran's power plants and bridges if it does not reach an agreement with the US to end the conflict and open the Straight of Hormuz.
>> The entire country can be taken out in one night and that night might be tomorrow night.
This ultimatum coming from the president at a briefing on the historic rescue of two American airmen from Iran.
The president celebrating the search and rescue as one of the most complex missions ever attempted by the US military.
In the mission successfully locating the pilot of the downed F-15 and a badly wounded weapon system officer who evaded capture on the ground in Iran for nearly 48 hours.
Despite the peril, the officer followed his training and climbed into the treacherous mountain terrain and [snorts] started climbing toward a higher altitude.
He scaled cliff faces,
bleeding rather profusely, treated his own wounds and contacted American forces to transmit his location.
>> The Pentagon hailing the two operations as a testament that the US military quote leaves no one behind.
While the CIA director John Radcliffe touts what he calls, quote, "The deception campaign to confuse the Iranians who were hunting for the two American airmen.
>> Shot down on a Friday, Good Friday, hidden in a cave, a crevice all of Saturday,
and rescued on Sunday.
Flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday.
We deployed both human assets and exquisite technologies that no other intelligence service in the world possesses to a daunting challenge comparable to hunting for a single sane of grain of sand in the middle of a desert.
Our intelligence reflects that the Iranians were embarrassed and ultimately humiliated by the success of this audacious rescue mission.
President Trump threatens to find and
jail the journalist who first reported that a US troop was awaiting rescue after his plane was downed in Iran last week unless the journalist reveals his source.
>> We have to find that leaker.
We're going to find out.
It's national security and the person that did the story will go to jail.
They put this mission at great risk.
They put that man at great risk
and they put the hundreds of people that went in looking for him.
Meanwhile, President Trump emphasizing that the Iranian people yearn for freedom while voicing his frustration with certain groups who were given US military aid but failed to use it effectively.
>> We've had numerous intercepts.
Please keep bombing.
And these are people that are living where the bombs are exploding.
They want freedom.
>> We sent some guns.
They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs.
You know what happened?
The people that they sent them to kept them because they said, "What a beautiful gun. I think I'll keep it.
So, I'm very upset with a certain group of people.
>> And just a couple of days ahead of a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rut here at the White House,
President Trump is doubling down on calling out NATO countries as well as several other countries today, including South Korea, Japan, and Australia, for not helping US forces in Operation Epic Fury.
