On April 6, President Trump is on a mission to track down the leaker who spilled details about a second missing airman after an F-15E fighter. Jet got shot down over Iran on Good Friday. The pilot ejected and got rescued within hours by special ops helicopters, but the weapon systems officer stayed hidden for nearly two days before a massive extraction pulled him out on Easter Sunday. That leak started with an Israeli news outlet on Friday, quickly picked up by U.S. media, tipping off the Iranians that the search was still on. Trump says it blew the cover on a classified op, putting American lives in direct danger since Iran slapped the $60,000 bounty on the fist. Airman's head and send militants hunting in the mountains. Folks are buzzing about Trump's fiery briefing where he called the leaker sick and warned the media company to hand over the source or face jail time. For national security reasons, a former Obama spokesman pointed out the complication since the first report came from an

Israeli journalist questioning if Trump plans to go after. Foreign press or even Netanyahu circle. The rescue was straight out of a movie with 155 aircraft involved, including fighters, tankers, and drones that took out Iranian search parties. The injured officer used his survival training to hike 20 kilometers, climb 7,000 feet, and signal U.S. forces while evading capture. White House officials confirm an investigation's underway to nail that leaker, but the airman's safe return stands as a testament to American grit and precision in the face of heavy odds.
