The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close. He is a highly respected Colonel,&#8221; Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to &#8216;man and equipment.&#8217; It just doesn\u2019t happen! The second raid came after the first one, where we rescued the pilot in broad daylight, also unusual, spending seven hours over Iran,&#8221; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all! I will be having a News Conference, with the Military, at the Oval Office, on Monday, at 1:00 P.M. God Bless our great MILITARY WARRIORS!&#8221; Trump added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/us-iran-trump-israel-war-live-updates-april-5\">Fox<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bravo Zulu!
