On April 5, 2023, US Special Forces successfully rescued a second crew member from an F-15 fighter jet that was downed by Iranian forces amid escalating tensions in West Asia. Reports indicate that the rescue operation is still ongoing, as the crew member is not yet in a secure location. The search efforts have been complicated by confrontations with Iranian tribesmen, who opened fire on US helicopters during the operation in the mountainous regions of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces, as well as the Bakhtiari region. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has praised these local groups for their actions, describing them as valiant guardians of the borders. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has refrained from detailing possible responses to any harm that might come to the missing crew member, emphasizing the hope that no such incident occurs. The situation remains tense as both US and Iranian forces continue their search operations.
