Under cover of darkness, around 100 U.S. special operations personnel infiltrated deep into Iran and moved through rugged, mountainous terrain south of Tehran.

The officer had reportedly sprained his ankle and was hiding in a crevice on a hilltop, using survival and evasion techniques after ejecting.
Before rescue forces moved in, he had to authenticate his identity to ensure U.S. troops were not being lured into an Iranian trap.

Satellite images show about 28 craters blasted into roads in Iranโs Esfahan province near where a downed US airman was rescued.
The craters, each about 9 meters wide, appear placed in a line to deliberately cut off road access.
Theyโre located roughly 20 km from a remote airstrip where US forces destroyed their damaged aircraft.
The strikes were likely carried out to block Iranian forces from reaching the area during the rescue operation.
