"The US service member is injured but 'will be just fine,' according to Donald Trump, who stated that the US had been monitoring his location during the search."
"The frantic search-and-rescue operation focused on a mountainous region in Iran's southwestern province of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad after the F-15E jet was shot down."
"Trump emphasized that the US did not confirm the rescue of the first aviator to avoid jeopardizing the second rescue operation, highlighting the dangers faced by the crew."
A US service member missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued. Donald 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 conflict has escalated tensions, with both sides threatening civilian targets and warnings of possible war crimes.
