8:52Now PlayingMarc Sievers, a former US diplomat, joined Ben Kentish to discuss the latest developments in the Iran war.
After a "daring" operation, US President Donald Trump revealed that both crew members of an F-15 jet downed over Iran had been rescued.
The mission to find the second F-15 crew member had been ongoing for almost three days after the US aircraft was shot down on Friday while undertaking military operations in Iran.
Iran and the US were in a desperate race to locate the crew member, with Iranian officials offering a "precious prize" for the pilot's capture, with some reports claiming anyone who is able to find the US airman would be given $60,000.
The rescue operations were the first time in military memory that two American pilots had been retrieved separately from inside enemy territory.
Trump said the US rescued both airmen “without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded”.
