5. I have not posted any of the updates from Iranian media because I mostly don't believe them

But this is coming from an Israeli source that is celebrating a rescue operation. Put bluntly, I think this is true. Moreover, I would really start to question what CENTCOM is telling us if they don't explain further. Do you have a link to the denial? I can't find it.

Thanks!

It's important that we get full information.
