Search for airman in Iran

A high-stakes search and rescue operation is entering its second day in the rugged terrain of southern Iran following the rare downing of two American military aircraft.

While one pilot was successfully recovered in a daring mission, the second crew member remains unaccounted for, prompting fears of a propaganda crisis if captured by Iranian forces.

President Trump has intensified his rhetoric, threatening to unleash 'all hell' if a deal is not reached or the vital shipping lane reopened by Monday.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials are leveraging the incident to challenge the American narrative of air dominance as the conflict enters its sixth week.
