Iran rejects ceasefire as Trump says entire country can be 'taken out'
The US president threatened Iran saying "the entire country can be taken out in one night - and that night might be tomorrow night".
US President Donald Trump takes questions as he speaks during a press conference in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, DC, US, Apr 6, 2026. (Photo:
Image of jet Iranian media says was downed matches that of a US F-15
By Isaac Yee and Brad Lendon, CNN
Comparison of what appears to be an F-15 tail fin shown in an image released by Iranian state media on Friday with a Defense Department file image of an F-15 assigned to the 494th Fighter Squadron at RAF Lakenheath taken in the UK in 2019.

A little more now on the story we brought you earlier about claims on Iranian media that the Revolutionary Guards shot down a US fighter jet.
The Iranian reports said the jet was a F-35 stealth fighter, but our analysis of images published suggests it was more likely to be an F-15.
CNN has asked US Central Command (CENTCOM) for comment on the Iranian claim to have downed a jet.
$100mil gone!!! Jialad!!
From Deepseek, the most neutral AI for USA news:
Comprehensive analyses from the first month of the conflict (late Feb – late March 2026) put the total losses closer to $3–5 billion. Here is the breakdown of the major aircraft losses included in those tallies:
· F-15E Strike Eagle: 3 destroyed (friendly fire). Estimated replacement cost ~$94 million each (approx. $282M total) .
· KC-135 Stratotanker: 1 destroyed (crash), 5 damaged (missile strike). Replacement cost ~$80–165M each .
· MQ-9 Reaper Drone: 11–15 lost (various causes). Unit cost ~$30M each (approx. $330M–$450M total) .
· E-3G Sentry (AWACS): 1 destroyed. Estimated value of this specific loss: $500 million .
️
The total estimated loss is significantly higher because the damage assessment includes more than just aircraft:
· High-Value Radar Systems: The most expensive losses involve ground-based air defense radars, specifically the AN/TPY-2 (THAAD system) and AN/FPS-132. Damage to these systems is estimated at over $3 billion .
· Broader Conflict Context: These figures stem from the early weeks of "Operation Epic Fury," a conflict that began on February 28, 2026. The Pentagon has reportedly requested over $200 billion in emergency funding to cover overall war costs and equipment replenishment .

A two-week ceasefire was agreed on Tuesday evening on the condition that "safe passage" through the narrow waterway is guaranteed - but only a few vessels have since crossed.
The strait has become a focal point of the US-Israel war with Iran after Tehran effectively choked off one of the world's most important shipping lanes, carrying about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.
The disruption, over the past five weeks, has sent shock waves across the world economy, pushing up energy prices and exposing just how reliant international supply chains are on the strait, which is only about 33km (21 miles) wide at its narrowest point.
