Al Jazeera just reported that a U.S. government official revealed the second crew member from the downed F-15E fighter jet has been rescued, but the rescue operation is still ongoing. The team has yet to safely evacuate from Iran. It seems the second pilot was located and extracted from the encirclement by a Delta Force rescue team, but they haven’t fully withdrawn from Iranian territory yet. Only a complete evacuation would count as a successful rescue—if things go wrong, it’s not just the pilot who might be trapped, but the rescue team as well. Let’s wait for further updates.
