The United States and Iran are doing everything possible to find the American aviator who ejected from his aircraft shortly before it crashed on Iranian soil. “We are really in a race against time between the two parties,” said Sebastien Regnault, a specialist in Iran and the Middle East.
On one hand, the Americans are trying to rescue him, on the other hand, the Iranian government could make him a prisoner of war. On the LCI set, the specialist even goes so far as to suggest that “the outcome of this sequence will give victory to one of the two sides.”
“In the media narrative, the national narrative of each of the two countries, the outcome of this problem will be crucial for the rest of the war,” he continued.
