President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday that two missing U.S. military officers were rescued from Iran, resolving a high-stakes operation in hostile territory. The officers were part of a downed F-15 fighter jet crew; one was rescued earlier, while the second remained missing until the final operation succeeded. The rescue occurred in Iran’s mountainous regions, described by Trump as "deep in Enemy Territory," highlighting the mission’s complexity and risk. The administration initially withheld confirmation of the first rescue to avoid compromising the second operation, demonstrating strategic operational secrecy. This remains a developing story, with further details on the mission’s execution and the officers’ condition still emerging.
