Trump e Hegseth detalham resgate de oficial de armas de F-15E no Irã com a frase 'Deus é bom'

Em uma coletiva de imprensa na segunda-feira, após o resgate, no domingo de Páscoa, de um oficial de sistemas de armas dos EUA ferido no sudoeste do Irã — inicialmente relatado em meio a intensos esforços de evasão —, o presidente Donald Trump e o secretário de Guerra, Pete Hegseth, revelaram a mensagem de fé do aviador aos socorristas: 'Deus é bom'. A operação, que envolveu mais de 155 aeronaves, foi concluída sem baixas americanas.

Dando continuidade aos relatos iniciais sobre o F-15E Strike Eagle abatido na Sexta-feira Santa, em que o piloto foi resgatado horas depois e o oficial de sistemas de armas ferido evitou a captura por 48 horas tratando ferimentos, escalando penhascos, escondendo-se em uma fenda e sinalizando via balizador, Trump e Hegseth forneceram novos detalhes operacionais. Hegseth destacou a resiliência do aviador: 'Naquele momento de isolamento e perigo, sua fé e espírito de luta brilharam. Um piloto renascido, todos em casa e contabilizados, uma nação regozijando-se. Deus é bom'. Ele enfatizou: 'Nós não deixamos ninguém para trás. E isso não é sorte'. Trump descreveu a estratégia de despistamento contra milhares de agentes de busca iranianos: simular atividade em sete locais falsos para dispersá-los, então atacar o local real, eliminar ameaças e retirar-se de forma limpa. 'Queríamos que eles procurassem em áreas diferentes, então ficamos espalhados por todo o lado como se estivéssemos bem em cima deles', disse Trump. O esforço massivo mobilizou quatro bombardeiros, 64 caças, 48 aviões-tanque e 13 aeronaves de resgate. Duas aeronaves ficaram presas em areia molhada em um local remoto; o pessoal foi evacuado por aviões menores enquanto as originais foram destruídas. Hegseth e a secretária de imprensa da Casa Branca, Karoline Leavitt, tuitaram 'Deus é bom' no domingo de Páscoa.

Former President Donald Trump hailed the US military's rescue of both crew members from an F-15E fighter jet downed by Iranian air defenses near Isfahan as 'one of the most daring' operations in history. The pilot was extracted shortly after the crash, while the wounded weapons systems officer—a colonel—evaded capture for nearly 48 hours using survival training before rescue from remote mountains. Iran offered rewards for the crew's capture, as Chinese experts noted the downing boosts Tehran's morale and air-defense prowess.
