US Continues Strikes into Iran After Successful Rescue of F-15E Aircrew
U.S. strikes into Iran continue as U.S. Central Command forces dismantle the Iranian regime’s ability to project power beyond its borders.

You Crazy Bastards

For those in the American media—and in Iran—who struggle to read the president, here’s a translation into your language of his latest statement:
“Dear IRGC leaders: The United States military just extracted a single American, alive, from inside your territory. Not one American life was lost in the process. Take that as a demonstration. We can concentrate overwhelming firepower anywhere in your country. We can go where we want and do what we want, and there is very little you can do to stop us.
Your one remaining card is your ability to strike civilian infrastructure in the Gulf—countries that once tried to restrain me. That card no longer works. Your terror attacks have turned them from hesitant partners into supporters of your defeat. And I refuse to be deterred by this terror tactic.
If we can pull a pilot off a mountaintop, we can send forces to seize uranium and destroy your underground missile complexes. I am prepared to do all that if I have no choice. But to do it without losing American lives, I must first take down dual-use infrastructure—bridges, power plants, energy grids. That will set your country back decades.
So let’s be clear. Cut a deal on uranium, missiles, and proxies. Stop attacking Gulf states and Israel. Open the Strait to international shipping. If you don’t, we will act with overwhelming force to protect our interests.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This rescue operation reinforces the sacred principle: no one is left behind. This is a shared value demonstrated time and time again in the history of both our countries.
As a nation that repeatedly carried out daring rescue operations, and as someone who was wounded in such a mission and lost a brother in the Entebbe rescue, Israelis and I, we know what a bold decision you took.
President Trump, Donald, my dear friend, once again your decisive leadership brought another great victory to America.
I salute you!
We all do!

… government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses.As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.”

In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak.
The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference.
One side risks everything to save their own.
The other sacrifices their own to stay in power.
This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

Today, Easter Sunday, marks the triumph of life over death, the defeat of sin, and the assurance of eternal hope. It is that celebration of eternal hope which brings peace, renewal of life and the triumph of love over hate.
The Easter miracle is considered the greatest victory in history.
And so, it fitting on this holiest of Christian days that a brave American warrior was rescued from behind enemy lines in one of the greatest search and rescue missions in military history. This soldier’s family will know today the full joy of Easter.
We are grateful for the leadership of our intrepid Commander-in-Chief President Trump, our brilliant military leaders, and our brave special forces for this Easter miracle.
My thoughts and prayers are with the 13 families who will not have their heroes with them today. They gave the ultimate sacrifice. America owes these brave soldiers, and their families, a debt of gratitude for generations to come.

There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office.
