U.S. Fighter Jet Downed

The downing of the F-15E Strike Eagle over Iranian airspace represents the first time a manned American aircraft has been lost to enemy fire in this war.

While one crew member has been rescued by U.S. forces, the status of the second remains unknown as both nations race to the crash site.

Pentagon officials confirmed that a second aircraft, an A-10 Warthog, was also damaged by Iranian fire during the recovery efforts.

President Trump has briefed national security advisors at the White House, maintaining that the incident will not stall ongoing negotiations.
