Ravi Chaudhary, who previously led the Personnel Recovery Centre in Iraq back in 2008, has expressed strong confidence in the United States’ efforts to locate a missing military crew member in Iran.

Chaudhary emphasized that the search and rescue operations are being conducted non-stop, around the clock, until the individual is successfully found.

“Our highly trained recovery forces and combat search-and-rescue teams are relentless in their mission. They will not rest until our crew member is safely returned to friendly forces and reunited with their family,” he shared during an interview with CNN.

With experience as a retired Air Force pilot and former assistant secretary of the Air Force, Chaudhary speculated that the missing individual is likely employing tactics to remain hidden while attempting to communicate with rescue teams.

“Our teams are trained in specific techniques to establish contact at the optimal moment. It’s vital to avoid detection by adversaries who may be searching in various ways,” he explained.
