U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that two military officers missing in Iran have been rescued.
MS Now had reported on Friday, citing two U.S. officials, that one crew member of a downed F-15 fighter jet had been rescued and that a second was missing.
“WE GOT HIM!” Trump said in a Truth Social post.
Trump said his administration did not initially confirm the rescue of the first crew member to not jeopardize the second operation.
