A US service member who has been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued, Donald Trump said. In a post on Truth Social, the US president said the service member is injured but “will be just fine” and that the US had been monitoring his location. The crew member has been missing since Friday, when Iran downed a US F-15E Strike Eagle. A second crew member was rescued earlier. Mr Trump said last week that the US had “decimated” Iran and would finish the war “very fast”.
