🇮🇷/🇺🇸‼️ US operation in southern Isfahan; pilot rescue or special operation against sensitive facilities?

🟡Following the crash of a US Air Force F-15 fighter jet in the Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province region, the first pilot was transported out of Iran by US forces in an operation. However, it is said that the second pilot has made his way to Isfahan province—some 400 km by road from the initial crash site. According to Western media claims, the hypothesis is that the second pilot was moved by CIA operatives inside Iran from the crash site in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad to near the location of forces around Isfahan. In this regard, the New York Times alleged that the CIA used opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran to rescue the pilot.

🔹Given that direct operation at the crash site was impossible, US forces designed and executed the rescue operation using an abandoned, old airstrip meant for agricultural crop‑dusting aircraft in southeastern Isfahan city. In the darkness, two C-130s carrying the infiltration team and at least two MH-6 Little Bird helicopters (which, due to their ability to fold rotors, fit inside a Hercules) landed and deployed on this airstrip. However, the operation then encountered serious disruption for various reasons, including damage to the C-130's landing gear or armed engagement with Iranian armed forces. The equipment present on the airstrip could not be evacuated, and the wreckage of the MH-6 helicopter seen in the images is evidence of this failure.
