An American military official has confirmed that a missing crew member from an F-15 fighter aircraft has been found and rescued in Iran. The individual was one of two people aboard the plane, which Iran had previously stated it shot down in the south-west of the country. Further details regarding the rescued crew member have not been publicly released.
The other crew member was located alive following a search and rescue operation. Earlier reports indicated that Iranian officials had offered a bounty for anyone who located the missing American pilot. State-run media reported this offer.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump shared a video on his Truth Social platform, claiming it depicted a “massive attack” in Tehran. The video purportedly showed the destruction of multiple aircraft. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
