Important Rescue of American Aviator in Iran
- The successful rescue of the American aviator in Iran was essential for the United States.
- “The whole country will breathe a sigh of relief,” said the TF1-LCI correspondent on site.
- But the war remains unpopular across the Atlantic.
The second American pilot sought since Friday, April 3, after his plane crashed in Iran, was rescued in a military operation and is now “safe and sound,” announced Donald Trump on Sunday. A crucial rescue for the Trump administration and its future plans regarding the Iran offensive.
This means the United States no longer has to worry about the war’s turn if the Iranian regime had turned this aviator into a hostage. “With this story, we felt it was materializing something from the American public’s perspective. The whole country will breathe a huge sigh of relief,” said Mathieu Derrien, TF1-LCI correspondent on site.

Trump’s ultimatums to Iran: “Action will be necessary, and if there’s no action, he will lose all credibility,” says General François Chauvancy on LCI.
However, the operation in Iran remains unpopular among the American public opinion. “All polls show that this war is unpopular. We’re reaching almost 70% of unfavorable opinions in some surveys. But until now, there was a kind of distance with the war, it was almost virtual, as can be the case with some conflicts.”
