Trump details daring airman rescue

The White House has provided a comprehensive account of the high-stakes mission to recover the crew of an F-15E fighter jet shot down over Iran.

According to military officials, the rescue relied on a massive deployment of hundreds of personnel and secret CIA technology to locate the airmen, one of whom had evaded capture for 48 hours.

President Trump praised the 'genius' of the tactical planning but also issued a chilling warning to media outlets.

He threatened to jail journalists who reportedly leaked details of the search, claiming the disclosure jeopardized the safety of the special operations teams.
