Iran suspects rescue of American pilot was a cover operation to steal enriched uranium

Rescue of American pilot in Iran was dramatic The Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Monday (6) that the United States operation to rescue one of its pilots may have been a front to “steal enriched uranium”. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai stated that there are “many doubts and uncertainties” about the operation, which he classified as a “disaster” for the US, and justified the accusation: “The area where the American pilot was alleged to be, in the province of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, is very far from the area where they tried to land or intended to land their forces in central Iran. The possibility that it was a deception operation to steal uranium enriched should not be ignored in any way.” Debris in Isfahan, Iran, of what Tehran says is US military aircraft. Disclosure/Iranian Revolutionary Guard The rescue of the American pilot was announced by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, this Sunday (5). Trump said the soldier was “very brave” for having survived Iranian searches until US forces reached him. Trump called the rescue “historic” and said the pilot, who “was behind enemy lines, in the treacherous mountains of Iran, being hunted,” was injured but “will be OK.” The F-15E fighter was shot down by Iranian air defenses in a mountainous region in the southwest of the country on Friday (3). Two crew members were on board and managed to eject before the crash. While one of the soldiers was located and rescued by US forces just hours after the incident, the second remained missing.
