An American crew member shot down in a U.S. F-15 over southern Iran has been successfully rescued and is “safe and sound,” according to Donald Trump. The rescue operation reportedly involved a direct engagement between U.S. and Iranian forces. Another crew member (the pilot) had already been rescued earlier. Both the U.S. and Iran had been racing to locate the downed airman, with Iran even offering cash rewards to find them alive. The incident comes amid escalating tensions, with both sides exchanging threats of severe military action. Trump has also warned of increased strikes unless Iran agrees within 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz an ultimatum that Iran has rejected so far.
