US fighter jet shot down
The downing of the F-15E Strike Eagle represents a significant shift in the air war, challenging previous claims of American air dominance over Iran.
Iranian state media has released wreckage images and offered a bounty for the capture of the missing pilot, while US special forces race against time in a high-stakes recovery mission.
A second US aircraft, an A-10 Warthog, was also reportedly damaged by Iranian fire during the initial rescue efforts.
President Trump has characterized the situation as a state of war but insists that negotiations remain unaffected by the loss.
