American Heroes Risk Everything in Daring Iran Rescue Mission
US special operations forces are deep inside hostile Iranian territory right now, battling the clock and enemy fire to rescue a missing American airman from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle.
One crew member has already been pulled to safety and is receiving medical care. The weapons systems officer remains unaccounted for in rugged southwestern Iran, where Iranian troops, militias, and locals are hunting him with a fat bounty on his head.
This marks the first confirmed loss of a US manned combat aircraft over Iran in the current conflict. Our warriors launched a high-risk combat search-and-rescue operation involving elite special ops teams, HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters, HC-130 tankers, F-35 escorts, MQ-9 Reapers, and A-10 gunships providing cover.
Rescue helicopters took enemy fire during the mission, with reports of wounded crew, yet they pressed on. Iran is claiming victories and dangling rewards to capture our man, turning the operation into a deadly race.
American fighting men never leave their own behind. Prayers up for the missing airman, the brave rescuers putting boots on the ground in hell, and swift success against a regime that celebrates American losses.
We stand with our troops. Bring him home.
