Iran is searching for a missing American pilot after two warplanes were shot down, highlighting ongoing risks for U.S. and Israeli aircraft over Iran as the conflict continues.
A U.S. F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, marking the first known instance of a U.S. aircraft being brought down by enemy fire since the onset of the ongoing conflict. Both crew members ejected safely; one has been successfully rescued by U.S. special forces, while efforts continue to locate the second. Reports indicate Iran is also actively searching for the crew, involving local civilians in the effort and offering a reward for their capture.
Two U.S. warplanes were downed over Iran and the Gulf, Iranian and U.S. officials said on Friday, with two pilots rescued and a third still missing and being hunted by Tehran's forces.
