Daniel Haqiqatjou describes himself in his X bio as a Muslim and a writer and lecturer on Islam and modernity. He's also a spreader of conspiracy theories. If the United States really did rescue a downed airman in Iran, why isn't he being interviewed on every news channel?
Why isn't the rescued American pilot being interviewed on every single news channel and hailed as a hero?

Is it because he doesn't exist?
There was no pilot rescue mission. They failed on the uranium heist mission and made up the pilot rescue mission. It was a total and complete disaster.

Seems to be the case

That's an interesting theory by "Truth_teller."
Martina Navratilova saw Haqiqatjou's post and asked, "Where is he?"
Where is he??? https://t.co/Y0N0AFvGXF

Indeed. You’d think they’d parade him around like a trophy. 🤔

Doesn’t seem to exist.

They’re still trying to find a paid actor.

The Iranian regime is parading around a poorly made cardboard cutout of an ayatollah, but we're supposed to believe them and that the airman rescue is a big conspiracy theory.
DoD Directive 5205.02E. Read it. He's not going to show his face because he can't until hostilities are over.

Yeah, let's dox the pilot in the middle of operations. Great idea.

Because he and his family will targeted you imbecile.

No need to let our enemies know who he is. And by enemies I mean you!

Because he’s in the United States military dumb fuck. He’s not on American Idol

He is going through a process called reintegration. Stop promoting conspiracies when you know NOTHING about how the US military works.

He took part in a military action that crossed the border into Iran. The Iranian government would love nothing more than to put a bounty on the head of him and his family. Think a little bit.

DoD Directive 1344.10 and Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) regulations regarding political activity, public representation, and pre-approval of information. Now, fuck off with that conspiracy bullshit!

We can't believe the number of people in the replies who agree that there was no rescue. One woman said the airman is as real as the Butler assassination attempt on President Trump.
