Three U.S. Military Aircraft Hit in Major Iran–U.S. Clash
In the first known incident of the nearly five-week war, Iran’s air defenses downed a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle. One crew member was recovered by search teams, while efforts continue for the second. Iranian authorities urged civilians to report any survivors and offered commendations for their capture. On the same day, a U.S. A-10 Warthog fighter jet went down near the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials say the pilot was safely rescued, though details of the crash remain scarce. During a rescue mission for the F-15E navigator, a U.S. Black Hawk helicopter was struck but managed to exit Iranian airspace and land safely. All U.S. military sources cited declined to provide further comment. Global opinion polls show a majority of Americans want a swift end to the conflict.
