United States (US) President Donald Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that the US armed forces rescued its seriously wounded F-15 crew members/officers from the deep mountains of Iran.
He also wrote in his post that we rescued the pilot in broad daylight.
F-15 crew/officers, including pilot, rescued
Trump wrote in a post, “We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close.
He is a highly respected Colonel. This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to “man and equipment.” It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran.
An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all! I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS! President DONALD J. TRUMP?”
