USA Today – Trump says ‘We got him!’ as US forces rescue crew member missing in Iran
The second crew member of an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet that crashed in Iran has been rescued by U.S. forces, President Donald Trump said early Sunday in a social media post.
In the Truth Social post, the president described an intense search and rescue operation that led to the crew member being found safe.
“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, but was never truly alone,” Trump said.
On Friday, the F‑15E fighter went down over Iran, prompting a U.S. rescue mission that quickly recovered one crew member. But another from the fighter aircraft had remained missing as of late Friday.
Trump said the crew member sustained injuries but “he will be just fine.”
Separately, an A-10 “Warthog” plane that was part of the search-and-rescue mission was fired on by Iranian forces. The Warthog pilot ejected over the Persian Gulf but was rescued, according to the New York Times and CBS News.
Earlier Saturday, Trump posted that Iranian military leaders were “terminated” by U.S. strikes in Iran.
