Summary

In a story that unfolds like a Hollywood script, hundreds of American troops descended on the rugged mountains of southwestern Iran this weekend to rescue a wounded airman who spent nearly two days hiding from Iranian forces. A large contingent of special operations forces and aircraft were deployed in the high-stakes combat search-and-rescue mission deep inside Iran. Meanwhile, President Trump says Iran is ready to make a deal to end the conflict. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with E.J. Kimball, the Director of Policy for the US-Israel Education Association, to discuss the life and death rescue, and get his thoughts on where the conflict goes from here.
