How US Fooled Iran To Rescue Missing Airman Stranded In Mountain Crevice
HOW SECOND U.S. PILOT WAS RESCUED WITH HELP FROM IRANIANS - IRGC HUMILIATED
Second US airman rescued from Iran with local help as IRGC humiliated
US special forces have carried out one of the most audacious extractions in recent history, rescuing the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) of a downed F-15E fighter jet from deep in the Iranian mountains hours ago.
The airman had evaded Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) hunters for nearly 48 hours after his jet was shot down on Friday, relying on his survival training to remain hidden in the rugged terrain.
Iranian civilians in Dehdasht flooded the streets, physically blocking roads and delaying IRGC and Basij convoys racing to capture him. The actions of the anti-regime locals bought precious time amid widespread hatred for the mullahs.
US teams established a temporary forward operating base inside Iran for the high-risk mission, which involved firefights and heavy air cover. When two transport planes became stuck, commanders flew in replacements and destroyed the disabled aircraft on site to prevent them falling into IRGC hands.
Both crew members are now safe. President Trump described the rescue as historic.
