Risky rescue of US crew downed in Iran relied on dozens of aircraft and subterfuge, Trump says - AP News
Overview
President Trump and his top defense aides said a risky rescue of a two‑man F-15E crew downed deep inside Iran involved dozens of aircraft, hundreds of personnel, secret CIA technology and deliberate subterfuge. The account portrays a large, multi‑platform operation — including bombers, fighters, tankers, helicopters and unmanned systems — to recover the aircrew. U.S. military spokespeople have not publicly verified all details, and other reporting indicates search-and-rescue efforts continued for a second crew member amid broader regional tensions.
