President Donald Trump has issued a statement after a missing crew member from a US fighter jet that was shot down over Iran was found following a major rescue mission.
The aircraft, an F-15 fighter jet, was brought down during ongoing military tensions between the United States and Iran, with two crew members onboard. One pilot was rescued quickly, but the second crew member was reported missing.
The missing airman was located deep inside Iranian territory, leading to a large-scale rescue operation involving special forces, aircraft, and intelligence teams.
According to reports, the rescue mission was extremely dangerous, with military teams operating in hostile territory while Iranian forces were searching for the same crew member.
Trump later confirmed that the missing crew member had been successfully rescued and described the operation as one of the most daring search and rescue missions in US military history.
Reports say the rescued crew member had been injured but is expected to recover after receiving medical treatment following the mission.
The incident comes amid escalating conflict in the region, with both sides continuing military operations and tensions remaining extremely high.
The rescue operation has since drawn international attention due to the risks involved and the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
