‘WE GOT HIM!’: How US airman from downed F-15 jet was rescued from mountain crevice in Iran

A high-ranking U.S. officer has been rescued from the mountains of Iran following a intense 24-hour search after his F-15 was downed on Friday. President Trump confirmed that the “seriously wounded” colonel was extracted by special forces and the CIA after using survival training to evade Iranian search parties and a $66,000 bounty. The complex mission involved airstrikes to keep Iranian forces at bay and a CIA deception operation to mislead the IRGC. While the officer is now receiving medical treatment in Kuwait, Iranian officials have countered the U.S. narrative, claiming the rescue mission was a “complete failure” and resulted in the loss of multiple American aircraft.
