US President Donald Trump will address the press on Monday at 1:00 PM from the Oval Office, alongside military officials, following a high-risk rescue operation in Iran to retrieve a US service member from a downed F-15 fighter jet.
The operation, described as extraordinary and seldom attempted due to the danger to personnel and equipment, involved two separate operations and resulted in the rescue of a seriously wounded and highly respected Colonel.
The Iranian military was actively searching for the officer at the time of the operation, but US forces successfully retrieved the crew member from mountainous terrain within Iranian territory.
Trump emphasized the bravery and talent of the military personnel involved in the mission, which he described as one of the most daring search and rescue operations in US history.
