00:23Iran now claims the United States is lying about an F-15 pilot rescue mission.
00:32Tehran says what Washington calls a rescue was actually a humiliating failure.
00:38And now they claim to have proof.
00:42According to Iranian officials, their forces carried out what they describe as heroic operations
00:49in southern Isfahan.
00:50They claim U.S. forces were not only stopped, but crushed.
00:57Iran's narrative goes further.
00:59They accuse Donald Trump of trying to confuse public opinion and cover up what they call
01:05a bitter military defeat.
01:08Iranian state media is now promising that detailed evidence will soon be released, including
01:15images, videos, and what they describe as undeniable documentation.
01:20And some of that may already be surfacing.
01:23Early visuals circulating online allegedly show U.S. wreckage in the Isfahan region.
01:31Iran claims this is proof of victory.
01:38But here's the critical question.
01:40Is this verified battlefield evidence or part of an escalating propaganda war between two
01:47rivals?
01:47Iran claims.
01:48Because so far, there has been no independent confirmation of Iran's claims.
01:53What we are seeing is a familiar pattern.
01:56In modern conflicts, battles are not just fought on the ground, but also in the information space.
02:02With Iran promising more undeniable proof and the U.S. yet to respond in detail, this story is far from
02:10over.
02:20In the name of God, the destroyer of tyrants, the U.S. Army's so-called rescue operation, disguised as a
02:29swift deception and escape mission under the pretext of rescuing its downed pilot at an abandoned airfield south of Isfahan,
02:37and ended in utter defeat, thanks to the timely intervention of Iran's armed forces.
02:43In light of the previous information on during the supplementary examinations conducted by the experts on site,
02:47Vassal Shadi, Shwaistel Asas, it has been ascertained.
02:51Two C-130 military transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters belonging to the United States Army were destroyed through
02:57the fulfillment of a divine promise with the assistance of Almighty God and by the sacred fire of wrath from
03:04the armies of Islam and our powerful armed forces.
03:07This action further escalated the continuous failures experienced by the United States Army.
03:13It has been proven to all that the weak and bankrupt army of the United States in this imposed war
03:19against the divine will of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran is not considered a dominant and
03:26superior force.
03:26In the wake of this glorious and triumphant operation, the defeated President of the United States in a state of
03:33panic and resorting to falsehoods through psychological warfare is attempting to flee from the battlefield of his defeat and just
03:39as he has done in the past, he persists in his absurd rhetoric and blame shifting tactics.
03:44However, the reality on the ground itself shows the upper hand of the mighty armed forces of the Islamic Republic
03:52of Iran and victory comes only from Allah, the Almighty, the wise.
04:02A rescue mission that nearly turned into a disaster.
04:09US forces trapped deep inside Iran fighting their way out after recovering a downed airman.
04:21It began as a search mission to find one missing F-15E crew member shot down over Iran.
04:33But quickly, it became something else.
04:36A two-day life-or-death race against time and advancing enemy forces.
04:44Hundreds of US troops, special forces on the ground, supported by warplanes, helicopters and intelligence assets.
04:58A full-scale operation for one man.
05:06On the ground, the situation escalated fast.
05:10A massive firefight breaking out as US forces reached the target.
05:19US aircraft dropping bombs, opening fire on approaching convoys, trying to hold off Iranian forces closing in.
05:30The airmen finally located, extracted alive.
05:35But the mission was far from over.
05:41Then, another crisis.
05:44Two US transport aircraft reportedly stranded inside Iranian territory.
05:50With no way out, they were destroyed by US forces themselves to prevent capture by Iranian troops.
05:58Reinforcements rushed in.
06:00Additional aircraft deployed to complete the evacuation as the window to escape narrowed.
06:09Even support aircraft came under attack.
06:13An A-10 crashed, helicopters hit by ground fire.
06:17But against all odds, US forces made it out.
06:21With the rescued airmen alive.
06:26This was more than a rescue.
06:28It was a ground battle inside Iran.
06:31A moment that could reshape the conflict.
06:34Because now, the war is no longer just in the skies.
06:39It's on the ground.
06:40And the risks are rising fast.
07:09So long, the ship can be replaced.
07:14A daring rescue, under fire, inside Iran.
07:20The missing U.S. airmen, now found, pulled out alive from deep inside enemy territory
07:28after a massive firefight.
07:30The operation?
07:32High risk, high stakes.
07:34U.S. Special Operations Forces launching a covert mission to extract the downed officer
07:41in the heart of contested terrain.
07:45The officer?
07:46A weapons systems operator from a downed F-15E fighter jet, shot down just days earlier
07:54over Iranian territory.
07:57Both crew members had ejected, one rescued quickly, but the second left behind, on the
08:04ground.
08:05For nearly 36 hours, he survived, evading Iranian forces, avoiding capture, as a manhunt closed
08:14in.
08:15Iran had mobilized troops, militias, even civilians, offering rewards for his capture, turning
08:23the search into a national hunt.
08:26Then the rescue began.
08:28U.S. Delta Force and Special Warfare teams moved in, and the situation exploded into combat.
08:37A massive firefight, gunfire, chaos, enemy resistance.
08:43But the mission continued against all odds.
08:46Even supporting aircraft came under threat.
08:49An A-10 involved in the mission reportedly hit, helicopters damaged by ground fire.
08:56But in the end, the objective was achieved.
09:00The missing officer successfully extracted, alive.
09:05This marks a turning point.
09:07The first confirmed ground combat engagement of this war inside Iran.
09:14A mission that shows the risks, the reach, and the resolve of U.S. forces to bring their
09:21own home.
09:23But it also raises a bigger question.
09:25If ground combat has already begun, what comes next?
