Important Points:
- The second American pilot missing since Friday after the crash of his plane in Iran has been rescued in a military operation.
- The two countries have been presenting their respective versions of the events for a few hours.
- “I am surprised by the amount of details that have been revealed so quickly,” questioned journalist Thomas Misrachi on LCI.
The US military managed to rescue the pilot who was hiding in Iran after his plane crashed. On Sunday, April 5, Donald Trump congratulated the success, specifying that he was “seriously injured”. Since then, Iranians and Americans have been sharing their versions of the incident. “I am discovering what is being reported by different headquarters, whether American or Iranian. I am amazed that so many details are available so soon after,” expressed journalist Thomas Misrachi on LCI.
“It is notable that when we read reports from both sides, there are some slight variations in the destroyed aircraft, the way they were destroyed, and the reason for their destruction. So, obviously, in what the Americans are saying, there is a part of communication,” he added.
