    The US has rescued the missing crew member of an F‑15 fighter jet shot down over southern Iran, in what President Donald Trump called one of the most daring missions in American military history. Both pilots released, and while one was quickly recovered, the second was found after a tense search for two days Reports say dozens of US aircraft entered Iranian airspace to locate the colonel, who was hiding in mountainous terrain as Iranian forces closed in. The mission, described as a high‑risk combat search and rescue, highlights the survival training of downed pilots and the involvement of recovering them safely under hostile conditions.
