From the NYT:
An Air Force officer whose fighter jet had been shot down in Iran was rescued by U.S. Special Operations forces in a risky Saturday night mission that took commandos deep into enemy territory, said current and former U.S. officials briefed on the operation.
The rescue followed a life-or-death race between U.S. and Iranian forces that stretched over two days to reach the injured airman, who was a weapons officer, the officials said. In the end, U.S. commandos extracted the officer in a massive operation that involved hundreds of special operations troops.There were no U.S. casualties among the rescue team, a senior U.S. military official said. All the commandos, and the weapons officer returned safely. Rescue planes flew to Kuwait to treat the injured weapons officer.
Saturday night is cognac night. I am raising my glass and toasting the Special Operations forces. Outstanding.

They pulled off a pretty tremendous feat. So far, all pilots accounted for and safe.

Just as well especially given US political leadership‘s retarded ‚no quarter‘ rhetoric.
