Officials said the rescue followed a two-day race between US and Iranian forces to reach him first - involving hundreds of special operations troops.

US President Donald Trump has made new threats against Iran from overnight in an expletive-laden social media post.

On his Truth Social platform, the President said Iran will be, "living in hell" if the vital Strait of Hormuz isn't re-opened; vowing to target power plants and bridges on Tuesday.

The White House had previously issued a deadline of Monday for Iran to make a deal.

The US and Israel continued attacks on Iran over the weekend, including a strike on Iran's only operational nuclear power plant - the fourth since the start of the conflict.
