US President Donald Trump has dramatically confirmed the rescue of a missing American weapons officer whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran. Declaring “WE GOT HIM!”, Trump described the operation as one of the most daring search-and-rescue missions in US history. According to Trump, the US military tracked the officer’s location round-the-clock and executed a high-risk mission using dozens of heavily armed aircraft deep inside Iranian territory. The rescued officer, a colonel, sustained injuries but is expected to recover.
