‘Safe and sound’: How a U.S. Airman Shot Down in Iran Was Rescued From a Mountain Crevice
President Trump called it ‘one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History’.

A U.S. Airforce officer whose plane was shot down in Iran was rescued by U.S. forces early Sunday, President Trump announced on social media.
President Trump called it ‘one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History’.
The recovery of the airman follows separate search efforts by both the US and Iran.
President Trump heralded the daring and successful rescue operation of a missing weapons officer from an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down by Iran last week as an "Easter Miracle" on Sunday.
President Donald Trump’s threat to unleash “all hell” on Iran as early as Monday was met with defiance in the Islamic Republic as the US military continued its days-long search for an airman whose F-15E was shot down.
The U.S. service member who went missing after Iran shot down a fighter jet late this week has been rescued, according to multiple published reports.
