Former CIA officer Larry Johnson confirms: “The Pentagon is lying to the public. The downing of the American F-15 in Iran was actually a preparation for a massive attack on the nuclear facility in Natanz. The rescue operation turned into a complete disaster.”
Possible scenarios and uncertainties surrounding the rescue operation of American pilots
Donald Trump announced that a “successful” operation rescued the second crew member of the combat aircraft shot down by Iran. However, several key points, possibilities, and ambiguities remain:
— Iran allegedly destroyed at least 12 aircraft within 24 hours, of various types. According to available information, besides the initially downed combat aircraft, 2 C-130 planes, one A-10, 4 Black Hawk helicopters, 4 Little Bird helicopters, and 2 MQ-9 drones were destroyed — yet the operation is described as successful.
— Some reports indicate that the Little Bird helicopters were inside the C-130 aircraft and were deployed for a special operation, which means they may have been destroyed along with those planes.
— The US claims the mission’s goal was to rescue the second crew member. However, shortly after the announcement, some American sources reported that he was seriously injured and might die, while alternative sources claimed he had already died. So far, no verified images of the rescued crew member or even the first pilot have been released. This has led to speculation that the rescue claim might be a deception to make Iran consider the case closed while the real rescue is conducted later. The destruction of multiple American aircraft and helicopters further supports this theory.
— Each C-130, typically used for special operations, carries about 5 crew members and 70–80 people, supporting missions such as aerial refueling and insertion/extraction of special forces.
— The downed helicopters, with approximately 2 crew members and 4 special operators each, likely carried about 6 people. This raises a critical question: if the helicopters were not inside the aircraft, what happened to this large number of forces? And if they were inside, how were those present on the ground relocated after the destruction?
— It remains unclear whether these forces escaped, were killed, or are now considered missing. This ambiguity has not been clearly clarified by American officials, media, or Central Command.
— The New York Times reported that hundreds of special operations forces, dozens of aircraft and helicopters, along with cyber, space, and intelligence capabilities, participated in the rescue mission.
— Some sources claim the whole rescue story might be misleading. They suggest the main objective, especially in the Isfahan area, could have been related to nuclear materials — possibly an attempt to locate or extract them. If true, this would indicate a far more significant failure than the rescue mission.
Key ambiguities:
1. Was the mission really a rescue operation or was it related to nuclear materials?
2. Was the second crew member really rescued, given immediate reports of his possible death?
3. Are the reports about the first pilot accurate, and why do some American media question them?
4. What ultimately happened to the large number of personnel usually deployed in such operations?
