"This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory. WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND!"
"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."
"The U.S. had been monitoring the fallen airman's location 24 hours a day, and diligently planning for his rescue."
"The airman held the rank of colonel and had been seriously wounded. Nonetheless, he would be just fine."
The U.S. conducted a successful rescue operation for two aviators shot down over Iran, with the first rescue occurring in broad daylight and the second overnight. President Trump emphasized the unprecedented nature of rescuing two pilots separately in enemy territory. The operation involved extensive planning and monitoring of the airman's location. The rescued pilot, a colonel, was seriously wounded but expected to recover. The U.S. destroyed two planes during the operation, while Iran threatened rewards for capturing the service members.
