Second US Warplane Crashes Near Iran Amid Rescue Operation
A second US warplane has crashed in waters near the Strait of Hormuz, shortly after an F-15 carrying two crew members was shot down over Iran. Iranian state media say the A-10 Warthog was targeted in the Persian Gulf. According to US officials cited by a major newspaper, the A-10 pilot was rescued safely. Forces are still searching for one of the F-15 crew, who reportedly has a bounty on their head. The other F-15 crew member has been found alive. Tehran’s media released images of an ejection seat and other debris from the downed aircraft. Videos on social platforms show US jets flying low over southern Iran during search-and-rescue efforts, while some civilians appear to fire at the planes. A local TV anchor even promised a “valuable reward” for capturing the pilots.
