Iran shot down two US military aircraft.
In this incident, two pilots were rescued, while one pilot remains missing.
Two US military aircraft were shot down in the region of Iran and the Persian Gulf. Reuters reported on this.
According to official information, while two pilots have been rescued, another pilot is missing and is being searched for by Iranian forces.
US officials and the Iranian side confirmed that the first aircraft—a two-seat F-15E Strike Eagle fighter-bomber—was targeted and shot down by Iran. The second aircraft—an A-10 Warthog attack aircraft—crashed in Kuwaiti territory after being hit, and the pilot ejected and survived.
US Black Hawk helicopters involved in the search operation for the missing pilot also came under Iranian attack but managed to leave the area. The condition of the crew members and the fate of the missing pilot remain unknown for now.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it is conducting search operations in the area where the aircraft crashed. Local officials have promised a reward for those who succeed in capturing or eliminating "enemy forces."
Against the backdrop of the events, US President Donald Trump is receiving reports on the search and rescue operation at the White House. Meanwhile, the Pentagon and US Central Command have not provided an official comment on the situation.
Experts note that these incidents cast doubt on statements that US and Israeli forces have complete air superiority over Iranian airspace.
Previously, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had announced that a US-owned F-35 fighter jet was destroyed in Iranian airspace.
