The news must be a fake news. Iran do not have anything to do with capturing any prisoner of war.

Na that United States boxers own muzz me pass

All those believing propaganda of the West, train don leave una. No sane person believes the US and Israel anymore. In an interview, Trump can say 5 conflicting things within minutes, but we still have some visa hustling deceptive Nigerians amplifying his lies. The days of their controlling the narrative in the media are gone like yesteryears.

**False.** The claim that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) has officially announced the capture of a U.S. soldier—a pilot with the rank of captain—is not accurate. It stems from unverified or exaggerated reports by Iranian state-linked media during a recent incident, but credible evidence shows no such capture occurred.

### What actually happened (context from early April 2026):
- During the ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, Iranian forces shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet over southwestern Iran (Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province area) around April 3.
- The jet had two crew members. One was rescued relatively quickly by U.S. forces. The second (a weapons systems officer/airman) ejected, evaded capture in mountainous terrain for over a day, and was later successfully extracted by a high-risk U.S. search-and-rescue operation involving special forces, helicopters, and deception tactics.
- President Trump publicly confirmed the rescue, describing it as one of the most daring in U.S. history; the airman was recovered alive (reportedly wounded in some accounts) and taken to safety (e.g., Kuwait for treatment). U.S. officials, including via CENTCOM and media like CBS, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, and Al Jazeera, corroborated that both crew members were accounted for and rescued.

Iranian media (e.g., Tasnim, NourNews, IRIB, and IRGC-affiliated outlets) did claim or speculate that a pilot had been captured after ejection, offered large rewards (around $60,000 or equivalent in Iranian currency) to civilians/tribes for handing over any "enemy pilot" alive, and urged searches. Some reports mentioned a downed F-35 or F-15 and possible failed U.S. rescue attempts. However:
- These were often initial, unverified claims or propaganda.
- Even some Iranian provincial officials and regional IRGC sources denied actual capture.
- No independent verification, photos, or official IRGC confirmation of a live captive has held up—circulating images/videos purporting to show the captured pilot have been identified as AI-generated or fake.
- U.S. and Western reporting consistently states the airman was rescued, not taken prisoner.

Recent social media posts (as of April 6, 2026) recirculating "urgent IRGC announcements" of a captured "pilot captain" (sometimes described with specific names/details like a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen) appear to be recycled or fabricated propaganda, often tied to the same incident. These contradict the timeline of confirmed U.S. rescues.

### Bottom line:
Iranian sources hyped the possibility of a capture for propaganda value amid the conflict (and offered bounties to locals), but no U.S. pilot or soldier was actually captured by the IRGC. Both crew members from the downed jet were rescued by U.S. forces. The specific claim in the query is **false**—it's misinformation or exaggeration from state-linked Iranian reporting that did not materialize into a verified event.
