President Donald Trump confirmed that a US fighter jet pilot, missing for two days after Iran shot down his aircraft, has been successfully rescued in a highly coordinated military operation. The operation was described as one of the most daring in US history, involving dozens of aircraft and hundreds of special operations troops. Trump announced the pilot, who has not yet been identified, sustained injuries but is expected to recover. The US military's efforts were closely monitored by top officials, ensuring the pilot was never alone during the rescue. The incident marks a significant moment, as it is the first known combat loss of a US aircraft in the ongoing conflict with Iran. Trump highlighted the achievement of the US military, stating that both pilots involved in separate incidents were rescued without any American casualties, reinforcing the US's air superiority in the region. The Iranian military had also mobilized forces to locate the missing pilot and offered a reward for information leading to his capture.
