An American fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, according to US officials, sparking a major search and rescue operation inside the country.
What’s believed to be an F-15 Strike Eagle went down in the south-west of Iran. One crew member was rescued by US forces, according to CBS News, but the fate of the other person on board remains unknown tonight.
Iranian state television has been showing pictures of what it says is debris from the jet – and has broadcast an offer of a reward for anyone who captures a downed US crew member alive.
President Trump has been briefed on the situation. There are reports a second jet – an A-10 Warthog – crashed after coming under fire – while assisting in the first rescue. The pilot ejected to safety.
