US EditionMissing US Airman: What We Know so Far
One pilot was rescued and another remains missing as U.S. forces search after an F-15E and an A-10 were hit by fire, reports said.
- On Friday, a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran, with one crew member rescued by U.S. special forces and the second remaining missing as an intensive search operation continues.
- President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday that Iran's air defenses were "100% annihilated" and the country was "no longer a threat," but Friday's downing directly contradicts these assertions.
- Separately, an A-10 Warthog attack aircraft was hit by Iranian fire near the Strait of Hormuz; the pilot ejected and was rescued after flying the damaged plane into Kuwaiti airspace.
- Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf mocked the U.S. campaign, saying the war was "downgraded from regime change" to a hunt for pilots, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps offered rewards for capture.
- The search for the missing pilot raises stakes for Washington in a conflict that has killed at least 15 U.S. service members, with officials reporting no imminent end to the war.
