From BBC News 7.30 am.
"A US airman who was missing in Iran has been rescued in what President Donald Trump calls "one of the most daring" rescue operations in American history.
Both crew members from the downed F-15 fighter jet have now been rescued - the pilot and the weapon systems officer
The second crew member "sustained injuries" but "will be just fine", Trump says - the BBC understands injuries may have happened when the crew ejected from the aircraft after it was struck by Iran
Trump says no Americans were killed or wounded in the rescue
The BBC understands there was "engagement" between US and Iranian forces during the operation."
