US President Donald Trump revealed that a brief radio message from a stranded F-15 fighter jet crew member initially raised alarm, with fears it could be part of an Iranian trap.
The airman transmitted a short, unusual message over the radio – 'God is good.'
However, doubts were cleared after verification, with officials confirming the officer was alive and not captured.
The downed crew member survived for over 24 hours in mountainous terrain despite being wounded and managed to evade capture.
US special operations forces were deployed deep into Iranian territory to extract the stranded airman, with the mission described as 'extraordinary'.
