US fighter jet downed over Iran

The downing of a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle over Iran represents the first known loss of an American combat aircraft inside Iranian territory since the war began.

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

Iranian state media has released images of the wreckage and announced a financial bounty for the capture of the pilots.

President Trump has been briefed on the situation, which complicates his recent claims of total air dominance over the region.
