Washington (United States) (AFP) – US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that a second airman downed inside Iran was “safe and sound” following a search and rescue operation.
“WE GOT HIM! My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
The Republican president wrote that he directed the US military to send “dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve” the airman.
“He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine,” Trump wrote.
US media reported Friday that American special forces had rescued one of two crew members of a downed F-15, the first US fighter jet to go down inside Iran since the start of the war.
Trump confirmed the “successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday,” adding it was not disclosed to avoid jeopardizing the second rescue mission.
“This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory,” he wrote, adding that both operations were concluded “without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded.”

Dude is a pathological liar, he can’t help himself.

Was it one, or two?
One just now, two total. One was retrieved almost immediately after the crash, the other took this operation to find.
So he wrote that the pilot sustained injuries and then goes on to say that?
I don’t think the pilot was part of the rescue operation. It’s still a lie though.
I feel so sad for the Iranian people suffering from this war.
The human toll of war rests entirely on the working class every single time. Doesn’t matter which war in history you talk about.
The parasite class has enough money to flee before the war even starts. Whether it’s to a country they own a house in or to travel until it all blows over. They will flee this sinking ship like the rats that they are.
No war but the class war; the top 10% need to be held accountable for pursuing ALL wars and to be blamed for crimes against humanity and the hard times we are all about to endure.
I’d like to add that it was the terrorist, genocidal states of Israel and USA who have imposed this war on Iran. Your comment kind of left that part out.
I thought it axiomatic enough considering the article and the last decade, but fair deuce.
Damn it.
