️🇺🇸 American Secretary of War Pete Hesseth, on rescuing two American pilots who were shot down in Iran:

"And so on Easter weekend this year, in the dead of night, President Trump ordered the War Department to do what was necessary to bring our fighters home. And that's what we did. From the moment our pilots fell, our mission was clear. Countless bombers and fighters mobilized in a massive operation to get our two American pilots. Without a doubt, what the president said the most, not the hesitation the most, the president said the most. A search and rescue mission ever attempted by our military, supported by air crews and intelligence professionals, moved into the mountainous terrain, and our fighters were never saved.
