"President Trump stated that the service member is injured but 'will be just fine' and that the US had been monitoring his location during the search-and-rescue operation."
"The US did not confirm the rescue of the first aviator from the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down in Iran because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation."
"The war began with joint US-Israel strikes on February 28 and has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices."
"Iran also promised a reward for anyone who turned in the 'enemy pilot', highlighting the ongoing tensions and dangers in the region."
A US service member missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued. President Trump announced the rescue on Truth Social, stating the service member is injured but will recover. The individual had been missing since Friday when Iran downed a US F-15E Strike Eagle. A second crew member was rescued earlier. Trump noted the US did not confirm the first aviator's rescue to avoid jeopardizing the second operation. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and threats to civilian targets.
