00:18What Washington called a heroic rescue mission may have been the biggest military blunder
00:25in recent U.S. history. Reports from PressTV claim the operation in Isfahan province wasn't about
00:32saving a downed F-15E pilot at all. Instead, the mission allegedly aimed to infiltrate one of
00:39Iran's nuclear facilities and steal thousands of kilograms of uranium. And according to these
00:45reports, it went catastrophically wrong. The Americans, after days of aerial reconnaissance,
00:51reportedly underestimated Iran's air defenses. They lost at least one A-10 Thunderbolt II
00:58and two Black Hawk helicopters before the main assault even began. C-130 transport planes
01:05carrying special forces touched down at an abandoned airstrip, perilously close to a nuclear
01:10site, only to fall straight into a trap. Minutes later, Iranian forces targeted the second plane,
01:17along with helicopters and vehicles, turning the landing into a nightmare extraction mission.
01:24Troops were forced to flee, leaving behind equipment and even an officer's identification.
01:29Shocking video of the IDs and documents left behind were released by Iran.
01:34In the aftermath, the White House reportedly pivoted the operation from a nuclear raid
01:40to a desperate rescue of trapped commandos, scrambling smaller aircraft to pull soldiers from the deadly
01:46situation. Some helicopters were destroyed on the ground or inside the planes, never even used in
01:53the operation. To cover up the disaster, President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held
02:00multiple press conferences, portraying the mission as a daring pilot rescue, as per the report.
02:05But the evidence, according to Press TV, paints a far different picture. The nuclear facility was
02:12never reached. Key equipment and aircraft were destroyed or abandoned. The operation is described
02:18as one of the most humiliating defeats in U.S. military history, worse even than the infamous 1980
02:24Tabas disaster. Iranian sources are now asking, how could a country supposedly weakened by sanctions
02:31shoot down and destroy so many American aircraft while protecting its facilities? The implications
02:38of this alleged failure are enormous. It could reshape the ongoing conflict with Iran, the political
02:44standing of Trump and his administration, and global perceptions of U.S. military power and credibility.
02:51Was this truly a pilot rescue or a failed raid on Iran's nuclear program? Iran's MFA spokesperson
02:58has also claimed that the U.S. Airmen rescue was a cover-up, as U.S. failed to steal the
03:04enriched
03:05uranium for which the entire ground operation was conducted.
03:09The ambiguities regarding this operation, which was, after all, a clear violation of the country's
03:16airspace. The American pilot was allegedly present in Kogiluyakh and Boya Rahmad. He is quite a significant
03:22distance from the area where they actually deployed their forces or had intended to do so.
03:28The deceptive operation to steal enriched uranium should under no circumstances be overlooked.
03:37It assisted the Iranian nation after 36 or 7 days of unwavering resistance, providing them with this crucial divine support.
03:44I've raised the question, and there are many, many questions and ambiguities regarding this operation,
03:51which was, after all, a clear violation of the country's airspace.
03:56The region where the American pilot was allegedly present in Kogiluyakh and Boya Rahmad
04:01is quite a significant distance from the area where they actually deployed their forces
04:08or had intended to do so deep in central Iran. Therefore, the possibility that this might have
04:21been a deceptive operation to steal enriched uranium should under no circumstances be overlooked.
04:32But, as I said, what is clear, the outcome of this entire operation amounted to nothing but Clause 2.
04:43And we truly believe that this was indeed a divine grace, a profound blessing from God Almighty that truly
04:49came from His divine providence. It assisted the Iranian nation after 36 or 7 days of unwavering resistance,
04:55providing them with this crucial divine support. And it clearly demonstrated that steadfast resistance,
05:00unyielding perseverance, and resolute defense will ultimately bear their own fruit and achieve
05:05their intended outcome.
05:07This operation was a catastrophic and utter disaster for America.
05:12Well, if I, in my capacity as a representative,
05:17We are a civilized and cultured nation, and the very first things that we are taught from our earliest childhood
05:23are to always be polite. If you truly expect me to even bring myself to utter those kinds of words,
05:28then I must tell you, I am certainly unable...
05:32Well, as I've already stated, Iranians, even back in the stone age, always converse with grace and a sense of
05:39decorum.
05:40This particular style of language is certainly not indicative of true greatness or genuine self-assurance.
05:46Psychologists should investigate these matters to understand the reason for using such rhetoric.
05:54regarding the ultimatum and these discussions that have been repeated many times.
06:02A respected individual had written, making a point about the 48-hour ultimatum that was issued to Iran.
06:09They remarked that this specific rhetoric is not genuinely a 48-hour matter.
06:12But instead, for the past 48 years, they have persistently tried to intimidate the Iranian people by employing this very
06:18same kind of language.
06:21To understand this, Iranians, in defending their homeland, are not going to be subdued by such ultimatums.
06:29These ultimatums merely reveal the criminal and malicious intentions of those who propose them.
06:43We will not compromise nor will we allow ourselves to deviate in the slightest from our resolute response in defending
06:51our nation.
06:52Our armed forces have clearly demonstrated how they will decisively act against any form of aggression.
06:58It is then the responsibility of the international community and incumbent upon the countries of the region and all member
07:07states of the United Nations to stand firm against this trend, this process of normalizing crime and lawlessness.
07:15Now let us remember, Iran truly does not solely defend its own territorial integrity.
07:22Iran is defending the international order that is founded upon international law.
07:29Therefore, it is the duty of all nations to be fully aware and vigilant here,
07:33to realize that the normalization of crime and the normalization of lawlessness will certainly not remain confined solely to the
07:42borders of West Asian countries.
07:43A mission deep inside hostile territory.
07:48A pilot missing.
07:50Enemy forces closing in.
07:52And a rescue operation that pushed the limits of modern warfare.
07:56This is the inside story of a traumatic 48-hour rescue inside Iran.
08:03It began when a US F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran.
08:09Both crew members ejected, but only one was recovered immediately.
08:14The second was alone.
08:16The missing crew member, a weapons systems officer, had one advantage.
08:21Training.
08:22SEER.
08:23Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape.
08:26He moved fast, hiking away from the crash site, climbing to higher ground, avoiding detection.
08:32Then, he activated his emergency beacon.
08:35But he wasn't alone for long.
08:38Iranian forces launched a manhunt, even offering rewards for his capture.
08:43A race had begun.
08:45Who would reach him first?
08:47Back in command centers, the US launched one of its most complex rescue missions of the war.
08:53Hundreds of personnel mobilized instantly.
08:56Special operations forces sent deep into Iran, supported by fighter jets, drones, helicopters, and real-time intelligence.
09:05But the rescue was anything but smooth.
09:08As US teams closed in, they ran into heavy resistance.
09:12A massive firefight erupted on the ground.
09:15US forces engaging Iranian units in a battle to reach one man.
09:20From the air, US warplanes struck approaching convoys, trying to buy time for the rescue teams below.
09:28The cost was high.
09:29Two US helicopters hit by enemy fire.
09:33Crew members injured.
09:34An A-10 warthog providing cover went down during the mission.
09:39And then another setback.
09:41US transport aircraft became stranded inside Iran.
09:45With no way to recover them, they were destroyed by US forces
09:49to prevent them from falling into enemy hands.
09:52Despite the chaos, the rescue teams finally reached the missing airman.
09:57He was alive but injured after nearly 48 hours on the run.
10:01Medics moved fast, stabilizing him mid-operation as extraction began under fire.
10:08Reinforcements arrived.
10:10Additional aircraft brought in to complete the evacuation.
10:13And finally, US forces fought their way out, bringing both crew members back alive.
10:19But the mission leaves behind questions about escalation, about risk, and what comes next.
10:25Because this operation was more than a rescue.
10:28It was a ground battle inside Iran.
10:31And finally, they are not a rescue.
