God was watching us, it was Easter territory - Trump on rescue of US airmen

"Donald Trump claimed 'God was watching us' during the rescue of the two US airmen from Iran, as he spoke from the White House on Monday. "Well, it was the Easter. We were in the Easter territory, I guess. But God was watching us, it was amazing," 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!"
