Senior Iranian official to Al Jazeera:

Iran will allow ships from some friendly countries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for paying security fees.

Iran intends to obtain war reparations from security fees on the Strait of Hormuz.

Senior Iranian official to Al Jazeera:

Several Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, and French ships have obtained a transit permit for the Strait of Hormuz.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

The IDF forcefully struck Iran's largest petrochemical plant. This key facility accounts for about 50% of Iran's petrochemical output. This follows an attack on Iran's second-largest facility last week.

As a result, both facilities, which together account for 85% of Iran's petrochemical production, are now out of operation. This represents a multi-billion dollar economic blow to the Iranian regime.

Netanyahu and I have instructed the IDF to continue high-intensity strikes on the Iranian regime's national infrastructure.

Israel is awaiting authorization from the U.S. to begin striking Iran’s energy facilities.

I agree, because the amount of weaponry used is way above necessary not to mention the delta forces report which suggests a much larger operation.

Considering negotiation power/public reports don't talk about it I'd assume it failed to achieve its goal so they covered it up with a "pilot rescue mission"

The pilot would likely already have been rescued on the first day if that is the case.

This is way overkill for finding and extracting 1 pilot

Well since they use chatgpt now for military operations I asked it what it thought and it told me its a search and rescue operation because they simply didn't have nuclear experts and heavy transport equipment to transport the uranium
