So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;  for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes. (Jn 20:1–18) On this Easter Sunday, we have rescued our second airman.

President Trump said he expects a deal with Iran by Monday. He also said the US has sent many weapons to protesters through the Kurdish forces. That takes us to today’s daring rescue of the weapons officer on the downed F-15E. A US airman stranded in Iran’s mountains for 36 hours was rescued thanks to a CIA-led deception campaign and a daring military operation that thwarted Iranian efforts to locate him. The CIA campaign involved spreading word inside Iran that US forces had already found him and were moving him overland for exfiltration, confusing Iranian forces and leadership in their own search for the missing airman. While Iranian forces grappled with misinformation, US intelligence was able to aid in locating the airman in Iran and assist in a US special forces extraction mission. US Forces Fired Weapons to Protect the Rescue Operation Hundreds of American service members were involved in the rescue of a downed U.S. weapons systems officer in Iran. The operation did not involve a firefight between U.S. and Iranian forces, according to a senior official, but U.S. forces did fire weapons to keep Iranian personnel away from the rescue site. The rescue followed a 48-hour high-risk search-and-rescue mission. Dozens of US aircraft, including combat search-and-rescue helicopters, MQ-9 Reaper drones, and transport planes, were deployed. As US commandos approached, Iranian ground forces opened fire, marking a rare confirmed ground engagement between US special forces and Iranian troops inside Iranian territory. MQ-9 drones established a lethal perimeter, authorized to strike within 3 km to prevent encirclement. Iranian state media claimed to have destroyed two Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 transport during the operation. US reports indicated some aircraft were damaged or destroyed on the ground to prevent capture. There were no U.S. casualties among the rescue team, Mr. Trump said. All the commandos and the weapons officer returned safely, a senior U.S. military official said. Rescue planes flew the injured airman to Kuwait for medical treatment. WSO was extracted, injured but alive, and flown to Kuwait for medical treatment. No US fatalities were reported in the final extraction.

For nearly 48 hours, an American colonel evaded capture by scaling a tall ridge and hiding inside a mountain crevice, as Iranian forces — who were promised a reported bounty — worked to close in on his position. While much about the rescue effort for the downed U.S. weapons systems officer (WSO) remains unknown, newly confirmed details from President Trump and unnamed U.S. military officials are beginning to shed light on the daring mission that quickly became the Pentagon’s top priority. After their F-15E fighter jet was struck in southwest Iran, both the pilot and the WSO ejected. The pilot was found and rescued in “broad daylight” after U.S. forces operated over Iran for seven hours, President Donald Trump revealed in a statement Sunday morning. The rescue of the WSO, on the other hand, proved to be more challenging. Described as a “highly respected Colonel,” the WSO, who was “seriously wounded,” was rescued “deep inside the mountains of Iran,” while Iranian forces were looking for him “in big numbers” and “getting close,” according to Trump. After hitting the ground, the colonel relied on his Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) training to avoid capture. The WSO, who was equipped with a beacon — a device that sends encrypted distress signals via satellite to rescue forces — was being monitored by the president, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and other officials during the rescue operation, Trump said. The president added that he directed “dozens of aircraft” to retrieve him. The WSO climbed roughly 7,000 feet into mountainous terrain to conceal himself, as hundreds of special operations forces from various branches, along with dozens of warplanes and helicopters — and support from cyber, space, and intelligence assets — were mobilized to rescue him, according to The New York Times. Israeli officials shared intelligence with the United States to aid the search-and-rescue effort, while the Israeli military paused air strikes in the area, according to Fox News. Meanwhile, the CIA launched a “deception campaign” inside Iran, spreading false information that the colonel had already been rescued — confusing Iranian forces as the operation unfolded, the outlet reported. According to The New York Times, Iranian convoys attempting to reach the area were struck to keep them away from the extraction zone, and a senior military official described the mission as one of the most challenging and complex in U.S. special operations history. MQ-9 Reaper drones were used to create a lethal perimeter to protect the crew member from Iranians who got within three kilometers of the WSO, reported Air & Space Forces Magazine. Reports differ on whether a firefight occurred during the operation. The New York Times reported that U.S. forces engaged Iranian units, while Fox News said no direct firefight took place. The Washington Post, citing anonymous U.S. officials, reported that Iranian forces opened fire on two helicopters searching for the weapons officer, wounding several American service members on board. At least one aircraft involved in the extraction — possibly a C-130 Hercules — was left behind after becoming stuck in the mud and was later destroyed to prevent it from falling into enemy hands, Fox News reported. The New York Times described a similar complication, reporting that two transport planes became disabled at a remote base in Iran after the weapons officer was rescued. Air & Space Forces Magazine claims that the two planes destroyed were MC-130J Air Force Special Operations planes. Commanders ultimately flew in three additional aircraft to extract all U.S. personnel and destroyed the disabled planes to keep them from falling into Iranian hands. Trump announced that he will hold a press conference on Monday at 1:00 p.m. ET with military officials, where he will likely reveal more key details of the historic rescue mission. CENTCOM and the Department of War declined to comment on this report.

Artemis II pilot Victor Glover delivered a powerful message of faith as he and his fellow astronauts traveled toward the moon, praising God’s creation ahead of the Easter holiday. Glover, a devout Christian, said that traveling into space had given him a whole new perspective on his faith, the earth, and the universe — all of which God had made for his final creations: humans.
