Summary
(This is a developing story) First, an F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, and while one of the crew members was rescued, an urgent search for the second is underway. Meantime, a second rescue plane was also struck, but the pilot was able to fly out of Iranian territory and eject safely in Kuwait. Also, several news outlets are reporting two black hawk helicopters were able to safely land after taking fire in search and rescue operations with several crew members injured. All of this as Iran mocks American rhetoric on “regime change” as the desperate search continues for our U.S. service member missing in Iran.
