On Sunday, US President Donald Trump revealed that the United States military executed a high-risk operation to rescue a second crew member from an F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran. The operation, which Trump described as one of the most complex search-and-rescue missions in recent military history, involved dozens of aircraft and was conducted under continuous surveillance. The rescued officer, a senior-ranking colonel, was stranded in mountainous terrain inside Iranian territory and sustained injuries but is now reported to be 'safe and sound.' This operation followed the successful extraction of the first crew member, which had not been publicly confirmed at the time due to operational sensitivities. Trump emphasized that no American personnel were killed during these missions and credited the military's capabilities for executing the back-to-back rescues. He characterized the operations as evidence of US air dominance over Iranian skies, although independent verification of this claim is lacking.
