U.S. forces have located and evacuated the missing weapons systems officer who was downed over Iran, two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region confirmed to Fox News.
The airman had been unaccounted for after an F-15E fighter jet was shot down, triggering an intense search-and-rescue operation in hostile territory.
Details remain limited, but reports indicate U.S. personnel reached the service member behind enemy lines in Iran and successfully extracted him, with all personnel now safely out of the country.
More details will be reported as they become available.

There is a God, for sure. Prayers for a full recovery from what ever trauma he has suffered. It must have been hell for him.
Great news. I can hardly wait until the details come out. It is going to be an amazing war story, no doubt.
Praise be to our Heavenly Father!
And a blessed Resurrection Day to all!
“as Trump’s Iran ultimatum ticks down”
I’m not in favor of widespread destruction.
I think Congress needs to give Trump and our military more time so Trump doesn’t have to resort to the destruction of Iran’s electricity system.
It would be a great help to have Iranian freedom fighters take out regime thugs, speedboats and anti-ship missiles or at least point out where they are.
Have to trust Trump on this one to know what the enemy holds most dear and deprive them of it.
What a bargaining chip that airman would have been if he were taken hostage!
Thank You LORD, so much, for our wonderful President!
Now the O6 WSO gets to explain why he was flying a combat mission. And why the ECM he was in charge of failed to protect the bird.
BAT21 calls ign?
President Trump is on God’s mission and saving the world and all his people.Democrats are the Devil’s team with Obama in the lead.
That’s not the POTUS.
“I’m not in favor of widespread destruction.”
No one cares.
