US Blows Up Own Jets in Rescue Mission, Iran Displays Wreckage Images

Washington: Amidst the ongoing conflict in Iran, the US Army carried out a very risky rescue operation. A mission was conducted in the dark of night to rescue one of our officers who had fallen inside enemy territory. US President Donald Trump called it a great success, but the reality is that in this operation the US Army had to destroy some of its own aircraft so that they did not fall into the hands of the enemy.

What was the entire rescue operation?

According to the information, an F-15E fighter jet of the US Air Force had fallen in Iran's air defense action. One of the two crew members on board had already been evacuated safely, while a separate operation had to be conducted to rescue the other officer. This operation was carried out at night in an inaccessible hilly area, where both reaching and returning was extremely challenging.

Why did you have to fly your own plane?

Two MC-130J transport aircraft used during the mission got stuck for some reason. The circumstances became such that it was not possible to bring him back. In such a situation, the American Army took a big decision and destroyed these planes itself so that they could not fall into the hands of Iran. This step was considered strategically necessary, but it also caused losses.

How did Trump describe this mission?

Donald Trump described the operation as "amazing," saying that the safe evacuation of two different pilots from inside enemy territory was unprecedented. He said that the rescued officer has suffered injuries, but his condition is out of danger. Trump posted on social media, “WE GOT HIM!" He also mentioned this success in writing.

Did other countries also play a role in this operation?

It has also come to light in some reports that Israel helped America in this mission. It is being told that Israel shared intelligence and also temporarily stopped its attacks during the operation so that there is no problem in the rescue.

What did Iran claim?

On the other hand, Iran has presented a different picture regarding this operation. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard claims that several American planes were shot down during the rescue. According to Iran, a C-130 transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters were destroyed in this action. However, these claims have not yet been independently confirmed.

Did America suffer huge losses?

If Iran's claims prove to be true then it could be a big blow to America. According to reports, many American aircraft have been destroyed so far in this conflict. In such a situation, the question is arising whether this operation was actually as successful as it is being said or not.

Can the conflict escalate further?

After this incident, there is a possibility of further increase in tension between the two countries. On one hand, America is calling it its biggest military achievement, while on the other hand, Iran is considering it as a sign of its strength. In such a situation, the situation may become more serious in the coming days, on which the whole world is keeping an eye.
