Inside The Daring Rescue Of US Airmen in Iran

Inside The Daring Rescue Of US Airmen in Iran

Author: FOX News Radio April 7, 2026 Duration: 35:01
President Trump is making his frustration with European allies clear as military operations in Iran continue, labeling NATO a "paper tiger" as several countries restrict airspace and decline to assist in securing the Strait of Hormuz. With NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte headed to the White House, is there a deepening rift within the alliance? Retired Army Colonel Jon Sweet joins the Rundown to discuss the readiness of our allies, as well as Iran's strategy of outlasting U.S. interest. A pair of rescue missions inside Iranian territory ensued to find the airmen of a downed F-15E fighter jet. In separate instances, both aviators were found alive. Steve Nisbet is a retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant, and Pararescueman, as well as Executive Director and Founder of Shields and Stripes. He joins the Rundown to discuss the preparation and courage it took to make these rescue missions possible. Plus, commentary by Kaylee McGhee White, FOX News contributor and the editor-in-chief of IW Features, the grassroots storytelling arm of independent Women.  PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices.
