Episode Details

U.S. forces executed a daring rescue mission in Iran, extracting a downed F-fifteen E Strike Eagle pilot and a seriously wounded weapons systems officer, a colonel, from Khuzestan province. The operation, praised by President Trump as one of the most daring in history, involved planes within eight hours and boots on the ground in twelve. The CIA played a crucial role, spreading misinformation to buy time and feeding intel to the Pentagon and White House. Trump and Netanyahu praised the mission, while MQ-nine Reaper drones and B-one bombers cleared threats. Iran claims to have downed other aircraft, but the U.S. focused on the rescue. Trump set an Oval Office briefing to discuss the mission, using it to ramp up pressure on Iran with a ten-day deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
