In a major escalation of the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, Iranian forces have shot down a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet over southwestern Iran, marking the first time Iran has successfully downed a manned American aircraft since the war began five weeks ago.
U.S. officials confirm the two-person crew ejected safely after the jet was struck by Iranian air defenses. One crew member has already been rescued by U.S. special forces operating inside Iran. A high-risk search and rescue mission continues for the second crew member, whose status remains unknown.
Iranian military sources claim they also struck a second U.S. aircraft—an A-10 Warthog—near the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media released photos of what appears to be wreckage from the F-15, including tail markings from the 48th Fighter Wing.
This incident comes as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise. President Trump has been briefed on the situation and is reportedly monitoring the rescue operation closely.
