President Donald Trump celebrated the United States’s rescue of the second and final crew member downed over Iran in an F-15 as an “Easter miracle” on Sunday.
“The rescue was an Easter Miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be. The Iranians thought they had him, but it wasn’t even close, and remember, we got two, but couldn’t talk about the first in that it would have highlighted that there was a second,” Trump told NBC’s Kristin Welker.
