U.S. commandos rescue missing F-15E weapons officer from Iran after two-day hunt

U.S. forces recovered the F-15E's weapons systems officer, an Air Force colonel who had evaded capture with only a handgun, in what Trump called "one of the most daring" rescues, announcing "WE GOT HIM!"; the injured officer was flown to Kuwait. Officials said two transport planes that could not take off from a remote base in Iran were destroyed and CBS reported more than 150 aircraft took part, while Iran's joint military command said it hit U.S. aircraft in southern Isfahan and state TV reported a C-130 and two Black Hawks downed.
