Hours-Long US Operation Brings Dramatic Conclusion to Airman’s Ordeal

A high-stakes rescue mission unfolded over several hours, culminating in the recovery of a US airman who had been missing for two days following the earlier retrieval of his fellow pilot.
The operation, which began in the dead of night, transitioned to daylight as US forces closed in on the airman’s location, only to encounter a fierce firefight with Iranian troops.
Typically, such special operations would be carried out swiftly and in the cover of darkness, but this mission dragged on for hours, according to sources.
US President Trump later corroborated key details of the operation, revealing that the rescued airman held the rank of colonel.
