Showbiz Flying force colonel shot down over Iran exposes desperate prayer in 50-hour battle to endure
An Air Force colonel shot down over Iran made it through a scary fall, 3 damaged bones and a two-day opponent manhunt after turning to God as his broken parachute sent him plunging towards the desert.
The colonel, determined just by his objective call indication “Bravo,” exposed in a brand-new interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” how a desperate prayer started an amazing 50-hour battle to make it home alive.
“At one point when I looked up and saw no parachute, that was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen,” Bravo stated in his very first public account of the April experience. “So I paused, right then, and I prayed, ‘Lord, your will be done. But if I’m getting through this, I need help.’
The colonel was the weapons systems officer seated behind the pilot of an F-15E Strike Eagle operating under the call sign Dude 44 when an Iranian shoulder-fired missile struck the aircraft April 2, according to CBS News.
The two-man crew had been assigned to attack industrial facilities tied to Iran’s drone and missile program near a mountainous region south of Isfahan, U.S. Central Command leader Adm. Brad Cooper told the outlet.
“We had air supremacy, however plainly we weren’t flying over Kansas,” Cooper said.

Showbiz Oil prices jump 3% as Saudi pipeline outage deepens war supply fears
Oil prices surged more than 3% on Monday as attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and shipping routes intensified fears the Iran war could further disrupt global crude supplies.
Brent crude rose $3 to $107.61 a barrel after touching $108.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate climbed $2.48 to $102.53.
The latest jump followed a drone attack that temporarily shut Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline, a critical route used to move crude from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea while bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
The outage could threaten up to 4% of global oil supply if it persists, with inventories at the Red Sea port of Yanbu sufficient to cover only about five to seven days of exports.
The pressure comes after Brent gained roughly 9% last week as attacks escalated across the region, pushing the global benchmark above $100 a barrel for the first time since July.

It turned out it was almost spot on 18 million barrels that day.”

Showbiz Iran threatens 77 vessels over violation of its Strait of Hormuz rules
Iran has identified 77 vessels it says violated its rules for navigating the Strait of Hormuz, threatening them with fines, detention or confiscation as shipping through the key oil chokepoint remains severely disrupted by the war.
Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority published the updated list Monday and warned insurers, P&I clubs and classification societies against providing services to the vessels, Reuters reported.
The authority said ships that cooperate with its requirements would be removed from the list.
The warning comes as concerns over global energy supplies deepen following attacks around major oil transit routes in the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Commodity vessel traffic through Hormuz fell to single digits per day over the weekend, according to preliminary ship-tracking data cited by Reuters, below a 10-day average of 14 transits.
Those figures do not include ships that have crossed with their Automatic Identification System transponders switched off to avoid detection, which U.S. Central Command and the Trump administration have long contended is the case.
