US airmen rescued in Iran

A high-stakes rescue mission involving US special forces has successfully recovered the second airman missing since an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran.

The operation took place in rugged, mountainous terrain deep within hostile territory where Iranian forces were actively searching for the service member.

President Donald Trump confirmed the rescue via social media, describing the recovered personnel as safe and sound.

All forces involved in the extraction have reportedly exited Iranian airspace, concluding a frantic search that began on Friday.
