"CIA Director John Ratcliffe claimed the rescue of the two US airmen was down to 'flawless execution' speaking at a briefing with Donald Trump from the White House on Monday. "This President is about results, and now that's what his CIA is about too. The professionals at the agency and at the Department of War deserve immense credit for their flawless execution during this daring mission," he said. The F-15 fighter jet was downed over Iran on Friday, with the US launching a frantic search after both crew ejected. The pilot was reported to have been rescued the same day, with the helicopter carrying him also reportedly hit by Iranian air defences - although the US claimed it had landed safely. Iranian state media had broadcast a 'reward' for the capture of the two crew. The second crewmember was rescued by the US side on Sunday, with Trump posting:"We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran… An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all!"
