Trump said a pilot rescued from the mountains of Iran is seriously injured. He added that the Iranian military was searching for the pilot in large numbers and was approaching the F-15 aircraft pilot during the operation.

According to Trump, after the first rescue, a second mission conducted in broad daylight successfully brought the second pilot out of Iran following a seven-hour operation.

Trump said he will hold a news conference with the military on Monday at 1 pm in the Oval Office.
