@cabnews1: 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and political appointees at the Pentagon pushed for the two crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle shot down over Iran in April to participate in a highly publicized “60 Minutes” report on their rescue, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter cited by CNN. The segment is set to air Sunday as part of the season premiere of the CBS program. The F-15E, call sign Dude 44, was downed by Iranian forces on April 3 earlier this year, during the ongoing war that began in late February. Both crew members ejected safely. The pilot, referred to as “Alpha,” was rescued within hours amid heavy enemy fire. The weapons systems officer, a colonel known as “Bravo,” spent roughly two days alone and injured in the Iranian mountains, evading capture with little more than a pistol, a communication device and a tracking beacon before special operations forces extracted him.#iran #Israel#war #usa #trump
