  • Good morning.

  • Aviators rescued behind enemy lines.

  • The Wall Street Journal takes us inside a daring mission.

  • In any war, if one of your people goes down in enemy territory, the worst-case scenario is the enemy capturing them.

  • But as Trump celebrated a successful return, he also issued new threats and deadlines to Iran.

  • Also, Axios grades the effects of tariffs one year later.

  • And the Artemis II crew are about to go deeper into space than any humans in history.

  • Sending four humans 250,000 miles away is a Herculean effort, and we are now just realizing the gravity of that.

  • It's Monday, April 6.

  • I'm Cecilia Ley, and this is Apple News Today.

  • It's been a perilous and dramatic weekend in the Middle East.

  • The tension ignited on Friday when an F-15 U.S. Fighter jet was shot down over southern Iran.

  • U.S. Forces found the pilot quickly, but the weapons systems operator wasn't so lucky.

  • He spent two days trying to evade capture.

  • He was in a mountain crevice, essentially.

  • And keep in mind, he had just been shot down.

  • And so he's injured.

  • Shelby Holliday is a national security correspondent for The Wall Street Journal.

  • She told us that after the news emerged, Iran put out a reward for anyone who might find the crew member.

  • And that set off a scramble.
