US Airman Rescued in Iran

A missing U.S. service member, a colonel whose F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran, has been safely recovered after evading capture for over 48 hours.

President Trump characterized the mission as one of the most daring search-and-rescue operations in American history, involving dozens of aircraft and a tactical deception campaign.

While the airman sustained injuries during his time in hostile territory, officials report he is in stable condition and has been extracted from Iranian airspace.

The rescue occurred as U.S. and Iranian forces raced to locate the crash site, with Tehran reportedly offering bounties for the pilot's capture.
