President Donald Trump took to social media early Sunday to announce the triumph with the words, &#8220;WE GOT HIM!&#8221;, following a tense two-day search behind enemy lines. The rescued officer, a highly respected Colonel, was the second crew member of an F-15E fighter jet that went down on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to President Trump, the operation was &#8220;one of the most daring search-and-rescue missions in U.S. history.&#8221; The pilot had been evading Iranian search parties for nearly 48 hours in hostile terrain. Under Trump&#8217;s direct orders, dozens of aircraft and special operations units were deployed to track his beacon and keep enemy forces at bay with &#8220;lethal air cover.&#8221; While the Colonel sustained some injuries during the crash and subsequent evasion, he is reported to be in stable condition. This successful extraction is being seen as a massive strategic and psychological win for the Trump administration amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a high-stakes military operation that has captivated the world, US forces have successfully rescued a missing American pilot from the remote mountainous regions of Iran.
