In a dramatic and high-risk mission deep inside enemy territory, U.S. forces successfully rescued a downed American airman from Iran, bringing a tense and dangerous 36-hour ordeal to a stunning conclusion.
President Donald Trump announced the rescue in a powerful statement, revealing the scale and intensity of the operation that unfolded behind enemy lines.
“WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History,” Trump said.
According to officials, the airman — a highly respected Colonel — had been stranded in hostile Iranian territory, hunted by enemy forces who were closing in “hour by hour.” Despite the danger, U.S. military leadership tracked his location continuously while preparing a complex rescue mission involving special forces and heavy air support.
“This brave Warrior was behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies, who were getting closer and closer by the hour,” Trump said.
At Trump’s direction, dozens of aircraft — armed with advanced weaponry — were deployed to secure the extraction. The operation was carried out under constant threat, with U.S. forces striking Iranian positions to prevent enemy forces from reaching the downed airman.
The rescued service member sustained injuries but is expected to recover.
Trump also revealed that another pilot had been rescued in a separate operation just one day earlier — a mission that had been kept secret to avoid jeopardizing the second rescue.
“This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory,” Trump said.
In a moment of defiance and pride, Trump declared: “WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND!”
The president emphasized that both operations were completed without any American fatalities, underscoring what he described as overwhelming U.S. air dominance over Iran.
“The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies,” Trump said.
He concluded by calling the mission a moment of unity and pride for the nation.
“This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around.”
