The United States conducted a high-risk rescue mission in Iran to recover two aviators from a downed fighter jet.
The operation involved deception tactics led by the Central Intelligence Agency and coordinated military efforts despite enemy fire.
Donald Trump said both service members were successfully extracted from deep within hostile territory.
He noted that U.S. forces faced major challenges, including damaged aircraft during the mission.
Despite the obstacles, the rescue was completed as forces evaded pursuit by Iranian units.
