The US has rescued the missing crew member of the US F-15 fighter jet which was shot down on Friday over southern Iran.
US President Donald Trump confirmed the rescue on social media on Sunday morning after the US military “pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations” in its history. The officer is “now SAFE and SOUND!” he added.
Two crew members were on board the jet, and both ejected from the plane. One of them had already been rescued by US forces.
