U.S. President Donald Trump officially confirmed on the 4th (local time) the rescue of the remaining one U.S. soldier who had been missing during a military operation against Iran due to the crash of an F-15 fighter jet.

President Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social, shortly after news of the rescue was reported by U.S. media outlets, "The U.S. military has completed one of the most daring search and rescue operations in American history. I am very pleased to inform you that he (the missing person) is now safely back."

President Trump explained, "This brave warrior was deep in enemy territory in Iran's rugged mountainous region, pursued by our enemies who were closing in hour by hour."

He emphasized, "But he was never alone. His Commander-in-Chief (the President), the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and fellow warriors were monitoring his location 24 hours a day, diligently planning his rescue."

President Trump added, "The U.S. military, under my orders, sent dozens of aircraft armed with the world's most lethal weapons to bring him home. He (the missing person) was injured, but he will be okay."

He stressed, "This is the first time in military history that two American pilots have been rescued separately deep within enemy territory. We will never leave an American warrior behind."
