A wounded U.S. Airman courageously remained hidden in ‘dangerous’ mountains for 36 hours to avoid being captured by Iranian troops before being saved by Navy SEALs.
A wounded colonel, carrying only a pistol for safety, had been injured following his ejection from an F-15 fighter jet that was downed in southern Iran on Friday.
Trapped far ‘behind enemy lines’ and still capable of moving, he once climbed a 7,000-foot ridge while U.S. planes dropped bombs and fired to prevent an Iranian convoy from passing.
As enemy troops advanced by the minute, the US military carried out a bold nighttime rescue mission praised for its daring.Donald Trump this morning as ‘miraculous’.
“WE HAVE HIM!” the U.S. President announced through a post on his Truth Social account.
Trump stated that the officer suffered from lasting injuries, but he is expected to recover fully.
Tehran had offered a £50,000 reward for the weapons systems officer’s capture and was competing with the US tolocate the missing airman.
The pilot of the aircraft was saved 45 minutes after the plane crashed in challenging mountainous areas.
A source connected to the President revealed to The Mail on Sunday: ‘Every possible effort is being made to locate the missing airman.’
We have elite troops stationed in the region, and the full power of the entire U.S. military is involved in this operation.
The concern is that he might be taken and exploited as a tool. We must locate him before the Iranians do and bring him back.
An Israeli security representative disclosed today how Israel supplied the United States with information and assisted in preventing Iran’s attacks during the rescue mission.
Two of the aircraft intended to carry the pilot and his rescuers to safety were trapped at a remote base in Iran and had to be destroyed to avoid them being captured by Iranian forces, theNew York Times and CBS reported.
American forces subsequently employed three additional transport aircraft to evacuate the airman and his rescuers from Iran.
Trump stated that the airman was “never truly alone,” as his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, and other “Warfighters” were tracking his location “around the clock.”
“Under my orders, the US Military deployed numerous aircraft, equipped with the deadliest weapons available, to bring him back,” he stated.
The pilot’s rescue was part of a US search-and-rescue mission following the F-15E Strike Eagle’s crash on Friday, asIranalso pledged a reward for anyone who handed over an ‘enemy pilot’.
This courageous Fighter was deep within enemy territory in the dangerous mountains of Iran, pursued by our adversaries, who weregetting nearer and nearer by the hour,’ Trump said.
Currently, Iran’s state television broadcast a video that it asserted contained remnants of American planes downed by Iranian forces, accompanied by an image depicting dense, black smoke.rising into the air.
The network reported that Iran had downed an American transport plane and two helicopters involved in the rescue mission.
Nevertheless, a regional intelligence official who was informed about the operation stated to The Associated Press that the U.S. military destroyed two transport planes because of a technical issue, which led them to deploy more aircraft to finish the rescue.
A representative spoke under the condition of anonymity to talk about the secret operation.
The Iranian armed forces stated on Sunday that the U.S. mission to recover the pilot had utilized a closed airport located in southern Isfahan province.
The so-called US military rescue mission, designed as a ruse and evacuation operation at a deserted airport in southern Isfahan under the guise ofsaving the pilot of a crashed plane, was entirely thwarted,” said Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for the Iranian military’s central command.
Zolfaghari also mentioned that two U.S. ‘C-130 military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters were destroyed’.
The Central Intelligence Agency is said to have initiated a misinformation operation to circulate information within Iran that American troops were relocating the pilot out of the nation by land.
In his latest post, Trump also verified the ‘successful retrieval of another courageous pilot, yesterday,’ noting that details were not shared to prevent compromising the second rescue operation.
“WE WILL NEVER ABANDON AN AMERICAN SOLDIER!” he wrote.
The fact that we managed to carry out both of these operations, with not a single American killed or injured, once more demonstrates that we have attained complete air superiority over the Iranian skies.
This is a moment that all Americans, regardless of political affiliation, should feel proud of and come together for. We truly possess the finest, most professional, and formidable military in the history of the world. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS, AND A HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE!
