Search for missing US pilot

The search for the missing American pilot is being spearheaded by elite Special Forces units as the war enters its sixth week.

Iran claims to have shot down an F-15 fighter jet and an A-10 attack plane, marking the first such losses in over twenty years.

While one crew member was safely recovered by US forces, the other remains behind enemy lines in treacherous terrain.

Iranian state media has intensified the situation by offering a £50,000 reward for the airman's capture.
