Iran PLAYED By U.S Army, CIA? Trump Claims Iran Chased ‘FAKE TARGETS’ During F-15E Pilot Rescue

A stunning new claim from U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited debate over what really happened during the high-risk rescue of the downed F-15E Strike Eagle crew inside Iran According to Trump, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies carried out a massive deception operation, deliberately misleading Iranian forces with multiple false locations and decoy movements to protect the stranded pilot. Officials say the strategy involved spreading misinformation that the pilot had already been found and was being moved—creating confusion and forcing Iranian forces to search in the wrong areas. In reality, the airman—injured and hiding in mountainous terrain—managed to evade capture for nearly 48 hours, while U.S. forces coordinated a large-scale rescue mission involving dozens (reportedly over 100+) aircraft, drones, and special operations units.
