Daring rescue in Iran revealed

New details have emerged regarding the rescue of an F-15E Strike Eagle crew that was shot down by a shoulder-fired missile deep within Iranian borders.

The mission, described as one of the most complex in military history, required the airmen to evade capture for 48 hours while hiding in mountain crevices.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine credited the rescue's success to the crew's survival instincts and a massive deployment of special operations forces.

President Trump has vowed to identify and prosecute a 'leaker' who allegedly compromised the mission's secrecy during its final stages.
