WASHINGTON, United States, April 5, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Sunday an airman rescued from inside Iran after his warplane was downed was "seriously wounded", and added he would give a news conference the next day.

"We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran," Trump said on his Truth Social platform, after previously describing the airman as only "injured" and "safe and sound."

"I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. (1700 GMT)," he wrote.
