Iran War Pilot Rescue

Blurb:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth drew some parallels between the timing of the Easter weekend rescue mission of a downed U.S. Air Force officer behind enemy lines and the resurrection of Jesus Christ nearly two thousand years ago.

Speaking at a Monday briefing at the White House, Hegseth could not help noting that the timeline of the rescue operation suggested God may have had a hand in its positive outcome.

When the downed weapons systems officer activated his transponder after hiding himself on a remote mountainside in southwest Iran, his first message was “God is good,” Hegseth recounted.

The secretary of war pointed out the officer was “Shot down on a Friday — Good Friday — hidden in a cave, a crevice, all of Saturday, and rescued on Sunday. Flown out of Iran as the sun was rising on Easter Sunday.”

“A pilot reborn, all home and accounted for, a nation rejoicing: God is good.”

Baruch Hashem. Forever united. Haters going to hate the good. That’s what real friends — real allies — do for each other. Juxta this to France who has been secretly aiding Iran and stabbing us in the back.

As details emerge about the extraordinary rescue of the American pilot deep inside Iran, the Telegraph reports how Israel assisted with during the operation.

Both President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth invoked God Monday during a White House press conference detailing the rescues of two U.S. airmen whose F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.

“God was watching us—amazing,” Trump said, noting that it happened around “Easter territory.”

The entire ordeal played out over Easter weekend, beginning with the traumatic shootdown of the fighter jet on Good Friday and concluding with the dramatic rescue of the second airman on Easter Sunday.

“When they did that, all of a sudden, the entire country of Iran, knew that there was a pilot that was somewhere on land that was FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.

“It became a MUCH more difficult operation. Because a leaker leaked that we have one. We’ve rescued one. But there’s another one out there that we’re trying to get.”
