A missing US service member whose fighter jet was shot down over Iran has been rescued by US forces, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post early Sunday.

“WE GOT HIM! 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!” Trump wrote.

“At my direction, the U.S. Military sent dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World, to retrieve him. He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine,” he added. “WE WILL NEVER LEAVE AN AMERICAN WARFIGHTER BEHIND!”

The high-stakes search began this week after the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet was shot down in the region. Another crew member was rescued alive shortly after the crash and was receiving medical attention, CNN previously reported.

Trump also touted this earlier rescue in his Sunday social media post, claiming that “this is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory.”
