Trump says US airman rescued in Iran in 'miraculous' operationPresident Donald Trump. Iran said it had "completely foiled" the rescue operation, without however saying it had captured the US serviceman or denying that US forces had extracted him. Trump said on Truth Social that the airman had been "behind enemy lines in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted down by our enemies." "This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation." US forces then used three other transport planes to carry the airman and his rescuers out of Iran, the reports said.
