President Donald Trump addressed the nation for the first time since the rescue operation of two pilots downed in Iran successfully retrieved without any American casualties. The president praised the efforts of 155 aircraft used in the mission to confuse the rescue mission and protect the American lives. He also praised the work of former vice admiral John Morgan, who served during Operation Enduring Freedom and the AFGHAN CONFLICT. Morgan warned that the timing for the end of the Iranian conflict may be uncertain, with the potential for strikes on Iranian infrastructure as early as the near future. The President also highlighted the heroic efforts of the military and agencies committed to bringing Americans home at all costs.
