Literally an Old Hat on Iran. "At 91 years old, Gary Sick has spent decades working on and studying US-Iran relations. He was a key aide to Presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan, he met the Shah, and he was in the room as the US scrambled to react to the Islamic revolution and the subsequent hostage crisis. I sat down with him in New York to get his thoughts on this current war and the lessons from history. It’s worth watching in full."

 


The WSO used the SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) training to evade capture, hiding on an elevated ridge after hiking away from the wreckage and putting out an emergency beacon.) US Special Operations rescue forces to include PJs (United States Air Force Pararescuemen (PJs) and many layers of elite rescue forces took part in the complex, layered mission to both find the crew member and also keep the Iranian forces who were hunting the American weapons system operator at bay. There are videos that have appeared from local eyewitnesses that show what appear to have been injured and dead Iranian members of the IRGC and Basij who were looking for the downed American crew member. Fox has learned there was fighting on the ground but no Americans killed during the operation. “It was a very complex operation to retrieve the downed service member,” a well placed source briefed on the operation told me. Many different branches of the US military were involved in the rescue.
