A U.S. crew member who went missing when an F-15E fighter jet was shot down over a remote area of Iran was rescued by U.S. forces early Sunday morning local time, multiple U.S. officials told CBS News. The jet's pilot was rescued Friday.
"WE GOT HIM!" President Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post. "My fellow Americans, over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History, for one of our incredible Crew Member Officers, who also happens to be a highly respected Colonel, and who I am thrilled to let you know is now SAFE and SOUND!"
The president said that the rescued officer had "sustained injuries, but he will be just fine."
Of the rescue operation, the president said that "at my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him."
U.S. officials had previously told CBS News the jet was carrying a two-person crew when it was downed by Iranian forces Friday.
Iranian Revolutionary Guards took credit for the strike, alleging the jet was brought down in southwestern Iran Friday morning. Photos of debris that Iranian media said showed the wreckage of the downed U.S. fighter jet appeared consistent with an American F-15, two weapons experts told CBS News.
The pilot of the F-15E had safely ejected and was rescued by two military helicopters, U.S. officials earlier said, but the second crew member, a weapons system officer, had remained missing.

Elite special operations troops were forced to blow up their own planes as they extracted the stricken crew member during a dangerous mission deep within enemy territory.
Donald Trump hailed it as “one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in US History”.
Fearsome AC-130s were spotted amongst dozens of aircraft swooping in on the treacherous Iranian terrain under a hail of heavy fire.
Trump declared overnight that the missing pilot – who holds the rank of colonel – had been successfully extracted.
He added that the serviceman is injured but will be “just fine”, adding that he took refuge on the treacherous mountains of Iran.
US forces had been monitoring the pilot’s location 24 hours a day, diligently planning for his rescue.
Trump posted: “WE GOT HIM!
NOTE that the damaged A-10 safely returned to be area controlled by US. The plane took damage, AND as designed, was able to continue to fly to return for a safe rescue of the downed airman.Re: THE WAR IS WON!!!

Perviously, Allied aircraft operated at mostly: higher altitudes, more stand-off positions, mostly night and many stealth.
In this phase the war: medium to lower altitudes, more direct attack, more daylight, and a10 and helicopters and F-15s are near zero stealth.
Planes are great a detecting radar guided missiles, but not shorter range heat seeking missiles.
[same CBS source]An A-10 Warthog that was part of Friday's search mission took fire and was damaged. The Warthog's pilot ejected over the Persian Gulf and was successfully recovered, U.S. officials said.

Trump also said "very little" will be off limits if no deal is made.

President Donald Trump said Sunday that if no peace deal is reached with Iran in the next 48 hours, "we're blowing up the entire country."
The president made the threat Sunday to ABC News' senior political correspondent Rachel Scott in response to a question regarding whether his previously stated timeline of two to three weeks for a deal was still accurate.
Concerns have been raised about targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran and the consequences that could bring.
"It should be days, not weeks," Trump said, adding that Iran "has been decimated, decimated. And every day is going to get worse."

The copy and paste was more than adequate this time, unlike ALL your worthless posts. And bolding your entire post does not make it more true or more sensible; it is the content that counts and not the SPECIAL effects. You continue to try to dazzle us with your DUNG, as opposed to offering actually coherent and sensible ideas.Pack Rat wrote: Tue Apr 07, 2026 2:16 pm Just a copy/paste?

Get some help, pack rat, before you go "over the edge" OR perhaps, and it seems more likely with each post that, you have indeed gone "over the edge" due to your TDS.Self-loathing is a negative self-view that makes you believe you aren’t good enough. It can affect your mood, behavior and mental health.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-2-we ... g-bombing/Trump agrees to 2-week ceasefire with Iran, delaying threat of large-scale bombing campaign
By Joe Walsh
Updated on: April 8, 2026 / 1:13 AM EDT / CBS News
President Trump said Tuesday he has agreed to a "double sided CEASEFIRE" with Iran, less than two hours before his deadline for Iran to either cut a deal with the U.S. or face massive strikes on its power plants.
"I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks," the president wrote on Truth Social, arguing that the U.S. has "already met and exceeded all Military objectives."
He said the ceasefire, which he agreed to at Pakistan's request, was "subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz."
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi confirmed that Iran had agreed to halt "defensive operations," likely referring to its drone and missile strikes on U.S. allies in the region, if the U.S. stops attacking Iran. Araghchi also said Iran's armed forces will coordinate to allow for "safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz."
(...)
Oil futures plummeted on the news of a ceasefire, with the U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate falling more than 13% to below $92 a barrel in the hour after Mr. Trump's announcement. The price of oil has rocketed since the war began to highs not seen in years, as shipments are largely cut off through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint that normally carries one-fifth of the world's oil. Prices remained well above pre-war levels late Tuesday.
(...)
The ceasefire followed a frenzied diplomatic effort by the U.S., Iran and third-party mediators like Pakistan to avoid a major escalation in the nearly six-week-long war.

That, silly pack rat, is CALLED negotiations and compromise. They are concepts that are OBVIOUSLY FOREIGN to pack rat and Democrats in Congress. They allow TSA workers to go with a paycheck AGAIN over temper tantrums about ICE, who is ALREADY fully funded. The only "victory" they can claim is possibly the firing of Noem and Bondi. They did NOT get their main two demands: no masks for ICE on enforcement (as the battle and arrest Drug Dealers) and judicial orders. And NOW Trump wins by getting TSA agents PAID again. Good Work, President Trump. The pack rat LOSES in another epic Failure.Pack Rat wrote: Wed Apr 08, 2026 7:39 am [b Trump surrenders to Iran!

Trump made the announcement in a post on his Truth Social account, blaming the failure to reach a deal with Iran during talks in Pakistan this weekend.
"So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," Trump wrote.
"At some point, we will reach an 'ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT' basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, 'There may be a mine out there somewhere,' that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted," Trump continued.
"I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their 'Leaders,' are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition," he said.
"The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!" he added.
