Trump says US officer rescued, injured but ‘will be fine’ President Donald Trump said a US weapons systems officer rescued in Iran sustained injuries but is expected to recover, describing the operation as closely monitored and carefully planned. “He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine,” Trump said, adding the military tracked the officer “24 hours a day” and was “diligently planning for his rescue.” Trump said “dozens of aircraft, armed with the most lethal weapons in the World,” were deployed for the mission and claimed it was carried out “without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded,” citing what he called “overwhelming Air Dominance.” US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz welcomed the development, saying, “America breathes a sigh of relief… More amazing work by my special operations brothers.” America breathes a sigh of relief.
