About that rescue of a downed pilot inside Iran. America Wins!

You will already be aware that the US and Israel are fighting a war with Iran, to ensure that they do not get nuclear weapons. Before now, we have basically decapitated their leadership and decimated their war-making capacity. But they still have assets that continue to shoot ballistic missiles (at Israel AND Muslim countries in the region, and shipping in the Straits of Hormuz), and attempt to shoot down our aircraft. Well, they shot down two of our planes last week, and America doesn’t take lightly to the destruction of its planes and personnel. The pilots of the first plane were quickly rescued, but only one of the pilots of the second plane was found and extracted quickly. Below is the story of what happened to the second pilot.

The picture is getting clearer โ€” and it’s extraordinary.

The downed F-15E has been identified as belonging to the ๐’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ’๐ญ๐ก ๐…๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐’๐ช๐ฎ๐š๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง, 48th Fighter Wing, out of RAF Lakenheath in England (Air & Space Forces Magazine). These are America’s forward-deployed Strike Eagles in Europe โ€” now confirmed in the fight over Iran.

Here’s what happened to the weapons systems officer after he ejected.

According to an officer involved in monitoring the CSAR operation, the WSO ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐˜‚๐—ฝ ๐—ฎ ๐Ÿณ,๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ-๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ฒ with Iranian forces chasing him all day (DropSite News). Alone. Behind enemy lines. In the mountains of southwestern Iran. With a regime that put a $60,000 bounty on his head and sent state TV calling on civilians to hunt him down.

And he kept moving.

Defense analyst Babak Taghvaee reported ๐ฆ๐š๐ฃ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ฌ between U.S. Army Special Forces and IRGC Ground Forces in the Milas mount area of the Rig Mountains in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province โ€” right where the CSAR teams were operating. This wasn’t a quiet extraction. This was a fight.

The Iranian side tells the story from the other end. Reports from locals speaking to Iranian media say the IRGC is transferring ๐๐ž๐š๐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ troops from “Black Mountain” to Dehdasht Hospital (HotAir).

The IRGC has now warned its own civilians to stay away from the area.

Let that sink in. Iran sent its Revolutionary Guard and Basij militia to capture one American โ€” and they got wrecked.

As of this update, journalist Jack Murphy โ€” a former Green Beret with deep special operations sources โ€” reports the WSO has been ๐ซ๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž after a massive firefight at the recovery site (DropSite News). Multiple Special Forces community sources say he is safe and back in American hands. The Pentagon has not officially confirmed the second rescue.

But here’s what IS confirmed: the United States military sent its most elite operators into hostile Iranian mountains, fought through IRGC ground forces, and brought their people home.

Here’s what President Trump had to say about that.

God Bless America, indeed!

Now, from my friend Cynical Publius, an Alternate History of what might have taken place if President Trump had lost the 2024 election. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is absolutely priceless!! Read it and see if you don’t agree.

RE: The Pilotโ€™s Rescue (an alternate history) Itโ€™s April 5th, 2026 (or, as President Kamala Harris declared it, the โ€œTrans Day of Visibilityโ€). On a routine training mission over Kuwait, an American F-15 pilot became disoriented, failed to respond to orders from her flight lead, and flew into Iranian airspace, only to be immediately shot down by Chinaโ€™s latest air defense system, bought by Iran with the money President Harris had been shipping to Iran monthly to assist in the build-up of their nuclear weapons program.

The pilot was a 1st Lt. and had just recently graduated from flight school, over the objections of her instructor pilots. Despite her known shortcomings, the training squadron commander had been forced to give her a set of wings and an F-15 seat because otherwise he would have failed to meet his monthly quota for female pilots.

On the run, 1st Lt. Jones was doing the best she could to evade Iranian ground forces, but due to changes in SERE training to make it less offensive to a variety of leftwing grievance groups, she really did not know what she was doing. Still, she had not yet been captured.

President Harris convened her core inner circle for national defense matters in an emergency meeting: 1. Vice President Elmer Fudd (known for his proficiency in shooting down flying birds). 2. Secretary of State Adam Schiff. 3. National Security Advisor Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. 4. Secretary of Defense Tom Nichols. 5. CIA Director Alexander Vindman. 5. Chairwoman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ADM Lisa Franchetti.

After 30 minutes of deliberation, the Presidentโ€™s team determined it was too risky to mount an attempt to rescue 1st Lt. Jones. The CENTCOM commander was ordered to call Jones on her survival radio and order her to surrender, while Secretary Schiff would negotiate her release. (Israel had offered to help but President Harris would not even take their call.)

Following orders, 1st Lt. Jones surrendered and was taken to Tehran for interrogation. Due to the open borders policies of President Harris and her predecessor, President Biden, Iran had a large, functioning arm of its Quds Force on the ground in the USA. Members of that force went to 1st Lt. Jonesโ€™ house and took pictures of her children playing in the front yard.

Showing these pictures to Jones and threatening to kill her children, 1st Lt. Jones was forced to film a tearful confession of war crimes and a lengthy denunciation of the USA as โ€œThe Great Satan.โ€ (CNN played this video virtually on a loop for 7 days while their announcers silently smiled like Hannibal Lecter.)

Months of negotiations ensued between Schiff and Iran, and ultimately Schiff was able to obtain Jones’ release by agreeing to (i) ship 500 pounds of enriched, weapons grade uranium to Tehran, (ii) send $500bn in cash in small bills to the Iranian mullahs, (iii) withdraw all US forces from the Persian Gulf region, (iv) denounce Israel as a Satanic force and (v) make President Harris wear a hijab during all public appearances regarding the matter.

Upon 1LT Jonesโ€™ return home, she was met with great fanfare by a hijab-wearing President Harris at the White House, where Jones was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross, a Purple Heart, promoted to Captain and appointed to carry Harrisโ€™ nuclear football.

Months later Iran nuked Tel Aviv, Israel nuked Tehran in response and Secretary Schiff agreed to broker peace negotiations. (Unfortunately for the mullahs, the Twelfth Imam did not then arise from a well in Qom. Boy oh boy were they pissed.)

Then I woke up and remembered what really happened: SecWarโ€™s team put together a daring plan, President Trump said โ€œEXECUTEโ€ and we did.

Can you imagine with what gloating the Iranians would have broadcast to the world that they had captured a high-level Military Pilot, if our rescue had not succeeded? We would never have heard the last of it, from the American Left and from all of our former allies in the EU. They all would have milked this issue for all it was worth, to humiliate our government and military, and bring opprobrium on our great President Trump. But that didn’t happen, because in America today, NO ONE is left behind, and every military member is valuable.

Here’s another elaboration on what actually went down in Iran.

Do you understand what just happened inside Iran..

The New York Times just confirmed it. SEAL Team 6 โ€” the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden โ€” just pulled off a rescue mission 200+ miles deep inside Iranian territory..

they sent HUNDREDS of special operators.. dozens of warplanes.. MC-130J transports.. MH-6 Little Bird helicopters.. built a forward base 50km from Isfahan.. one of the most sensitive military zones on Earth.. the downed pilot evaded IRGC forces and Bakhtiari tribesmen for 48 hours with a pistol and an encrypted beacon.. hiked to a 7,000-foot ridgeline.. found a rock crevice.. and waited..

here’s the part nobody’s framing correctly.. > the unit that did this โ€” SEAL Team 6 โ€” was CREATED because America failed in Iran in 1980 > Operation Eagle Claw.. 8 Americans dead.. helicopters burning in the desert.. total catastrophe > that failure gave birth to JSOC and SEAL Team 6 > 46 years later

.. the unit born from Iran failure just succeeded IN Iran the planes got stuck.. they self-destructed $150,000,000 in aircraft to protect classified tech.. three MORE transports had to fly in under fire to get everyone out.. and zero Americans died..

you’re not watching a rescue mission.. you’re watching 46 years of unfinished business getting settled..

And now, a tribute to American ingenuity and technology.

This one actually holds upโ€ฆ and it explains exactly why those pilots made it out.

What kept those downed F-15E crew members alive wasnโ€™t luckโ€ฆ it was systems most people never hear about.

CSEL.

Combat Survivor Evader Locator.

A small deviceโ€ฆ strapped to the pilotโ€ฆ that activates the moment they eject.

No talking. No radio chatter. No panic transmissions.

Just encrypted data bursts.

Locationโ€ฆ statusโ€ฆ movementโ€ฆ all sent through frequency-hopping signals that look like background noise to enemy sensors.

To Iranโ€ฆ itโ€™s static.

To U.S. forcesโ€ฆ itโ€™s a live track.

It feeds directly to military satellitesโ€ฆ giving rescue teams a real-time picture while the pilot stays completely silent on the ground.

No triangulation. No easy intercept.

Invisibleโ€ฆ but not lost.

Then when the rescue team gets closeโ€ฆ

It shifts modesโ€ฆ becomes a homing signalโ€ฆ guiding helicopters straight to them in terrain that would otherwise swallow a man alive.

Think about that realityโ€ฆ

Youโ€™re on the groundโ€ฆ injuredโ€ฆ huntedโ€ฆ no way to speakโ€ฆ no idea how close the enemy isโ€ฆ

But above youโ€ฆ thereโ€™s a system quietly telling your side exactly where you are.

Thatโ€™s why both F-15E crew members made it out.

Thatโ€™s why the A-10 pilot was recovered.

Not hype. Not guesswork.

Real technologyโ€ฆ built for the worst day of a pilotโ€™s life.

And it did exactly what it was designed to do.

Happy Easter, and a huge THANK YOU, AND THANK GOD, to our brave troops and our President.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!
