Fresh off the daring nighttime rescue early Sunday of the U.S. airman shot down in Iran on Friday, President Donald Trump warned Iran, “Open the F—-n’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”
Just before 8 a.m. on Sunday, the president praised the crew member who was rescued and the special military team that got him safely out of Iran. “We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “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!”
He announced he would hold a news conference early Monday afternoon with Pentagon officials. “God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS!” he added.
