Second pilot from downed F-15 jet rescued in Iran, Trump says

President Donald Trump announced the successful rescue of the second U.S. pilot from an F-15 jet that was shot down over Iran. This daring operation, described as one of the most remarkable in U.S. history, was carried out by U.S. special forces. The rescued pilot, a Colonel, sustained injuries but is reported to be safe and sound, with no U.S. troops harmed during the mission. This rescue follows the successful recovery of another pilot the previous day, a fact not initially disclosed to avoid jeopardizing the second operation. Trump highlighted these rescues as unprecedented, marking the first time two U.S. pilots have been separately rescued from deep within enemy territory. He asserted that these missions demonstrate the United States' overwhelming air dominance over Iran. The President urged all Americans to unite in pride over the military's professionalism and lethality. The search and rescue operation spanned from Friday to Easter Sunday, involving intense combat, including heavy fire directed at rescue helicopters and the loss of an A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft during the initial rescue attempt.
