U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday on the Truth social network that they have managed to locate and rescue the missing American pilot on U.S. Army Iranian soil.

"In the last few hours, the U.S. Armed Forces have conducted one of the boldest search and rescue operations to rescue an amazing officer from our crew," Trump said in his publication.



On Friday, Iran shot down an American F-15 fighter aircraft on its territory for the first time since the war broke out on 28 February. One of the two crew members was rescued, but the other was not.

The US president stated that the rescued man is "safe" despite his injuries.

"This brave warrior was within the enemy zone, in the dangerous mountains of Iran, followed by our enemies, getting closer and closer, but he has never been alone, "the American leader said, ensuring that his position was closely monitored as they prepared for the rescue.

almost at the very moment when the F-15 was shot down, another military aircraft, an A-10 Warthog, crashed by the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran reported that it had also dropped it.
