A US Air Force F-15E fighter jet has been shot down over Iran amid escalating conflict in the region, triggering a high-risk search-and-rescue operation. One crew member has been rescued, while the second remains missing, according to US officials.
The incident marks a significant escalation, as it is among the first confirmed losses of a US fighter jet in the ongoing conflict. Reports also indicate that a separate A-10 aircraft was hit during related operations, though its pilot was safely recovered.
The development underscores the continuing volatility in the region, despite earlier claims of air superiority by US leadership.
