Trump and Top Officials Share New Details of Rescue of U.S. Airmen From Iran

The president will praise the military rescue of a downed U.S. airman, a mission officials said involved more than 150 aircraft.

  • On Monday at 1:00 P.M. ET, President Donald Trump will hold a "major news conference" in the White House Briefing Room regarding the successful rescue of two American airmen in Iran.
  • The announcement follows a successful military operation that rescued two American pilots after Friday's F-15E Strike Eagle crash. Trump hailed the mission as an "EASTER MIRACLE" after the F-15 Crew Member was rescued from deep inside the mountains.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the venue change Sunday, stating it occurred "due to popular demand from the press." The briefing room accommodates anticipated media interest.
  • Senior Iranian officials blasted the president's remarks as a "dangerous game," warning they put civilians at risk. Trump issued a hard deadline to Iran, threatening consequences if the regime does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Members of the military are expected to attend the briefing as the administration continues its "peace through strength" strategy against Iran. This approach ensures the nation will never leave an American warfighter behind.
