American pilot rescued in Iran: A sigh of relief in the United States where the war in the Middle East remains unpopular

Important Rescue of American Aviator in Iran

• The successful rescue of the American aviator in Iran was essential for the United States.
• “The entire 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 actions in Iran.

The United States will no longer have to worry about how the war would have unfolded if the Iranian regime had taken the aviator as a hostage. “This story, we still felt that it was materializing something from the side of the American public. The whole country will breathe a huge sigh of relief,” testified Mathieu Derrien, TF1-LCI correspondent on site.

But in any case, the operation in Iran remains unpopular in the American public opinion. “Polls all show that this war is unpopular. We are almost reaching 70% of unfavorable opinions in some polls. But so far, there was almost a distance with the war, it was almost virtual as it can be with some conflicts.”
