Trump lashes out at Iran after huge update on US rescued pilot – 'crazy b*****ds'

Donald Trump has provided a new update on the successful rescue operation carried out by the US military. On Sunday morning, the US President announced the missing pilot of the F-15 jet downed by Iran on Friday had been rescued and pulled out of the country.

In a second message on the matter shared shortly before 1pm, Mr Trump provided a health update of the crew member – and seemingly fired back at Iranian claims the rescue mission had been a failure. He wrote: “We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel. This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to “man and equipment.” It just doesn’t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran. An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all! I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
