Israel assisted in US rescue mission of downed airman in Iran. Israel was involved in the rescue operation of a U.S. airman in Iran, Fox News has learned. Israeli officials reportedly shared information with the U.S. as the search-and-rescue operation unfolded. Additionally, the Israeli military helped halt Iranian air strikes in the area while the rescue mission was underway over the past 36 hours. President Donald Trump said Sunday that dozens of aircraft were involved in the evacuation.

To be expected. Israel may have the second best CSAR teams in the world (behind the US).

“Israel assisted in US rescue mission of downed airman in Iran”

I wonder how the Israel-haters will explain this one away...

It’s really the least they can do, since we’re now committed to spending lives and treasure to see it through for them.

You mean the Saudis there, don’t you Bob? The Gulf Arab states have all urged POTUS to keep going till we finish the job. So I guess we’re fighting this war for the Gulf Arabs. Right Bob? But that doesn’t seem to bother you too much. At least the Israelis help us with the fighting. The Gulf States sit on the sidelines and cheer.

The elimination of Iran as a global threat is a COMMON interest of America, Israel, the chicken-sh*t EU, the Arab Gulf States, Egypt, Jordan and many other nations.

America is NOT doing Israel’ dirty work. The threat of a nuclear Iran with ICBMs that can now reach Europe is no laughing matter.

It was treated as a laughing matter by Presidents: Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr., the absolute worst last two Presidents, Obama and Biden.

Israel is the ONLY nation pulling it’s weight AND punching above its weight.

Bibi was a Sayeret Matk, which did CSAR.

I am always vaguely jealous so many of their leaders are combat guys.

They’ll say it wasn’t enough, ignore it, or suddenly have religion and scream about Jesus, using His name in vain with hatred instead of love.

Looks like our special forces were the boots on the ground CSAR. Israel apparently provided some intel and air support. May have helped with some ops to mislead the Iranians.
