Trump reveals airman rescue details
The White House has released information regarding the successful recovery of an F-15E weapons system officer whose jet was hit by an Iranian shoulder-fired missile.
Trump praised the 'subterfuge' and intelligence tactics used to confuse Iranian forces during the daring 48-hour extraction.
While the rescue has been hailed as a military success, it has also sparked controversy over potential leaks to the media.
The President has threatened to jail journalists who first reported the airman's status, citing national security concerns.
