Iran's foreign minister Araghchi was smirking at the fact that "they were waiting for them". In the last 72 hours, you have just seen a preview about why he was smirking. Even when the pilot survived as his fighter jet was destroyed, landing deep in Iran would have almost 0 chance of survival since any plane deploying US troops would be immediately shot down. So with both the US and Israel's own arrogance, they fell right into Iran's trap.
