News Topical, Digital Desk : The war between the US, Israel, and Iran, which has been raging for the past five weeks, has now reached its most dangerous and uncertain stage. Iran has shot down two US fighter jets in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, two Black Hawk helicopters engaged in rescue operations have also been hit by Iranian attacks.
On Friday, Iran shot down a US F-15E Strike Eagle. One of the plane's two crew members was rescued, while the other is still missing. Iran has announced a reward for information leading to the discovery of the pilot.
One pilot of the first flight was safe.
According to US media reports, US special forces have rescued one of the two crew members of a two-seat US F-15E jet, while the other is still missing. The US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet carries a pilot and a weapons systems officer. It is not immediately clear which of the two was rescued.
After the loss of the F-15, Trump said that this is a war and it will not affect the talks with Iran.

In a separate incident, Iran targeted a US A-10 Warthog attack aircraft flying over Kuwait, causing it to crash. The aircraft also came under heavy fire from Iran, but managed to eject safely.
Two US officials told Reuters news agency that two Black Hawk helicopters searching for the missing pilot were also attacked by Iran, but they managed to escape Iranian airspace.
Iran announces reward for capture of US pilot
An Iranian television reporter on a local official channel said that anyone who captures the American pilot alive will receive a valuable reward. An Iranian governor also promised rewards to anyone who captures or kills enemy forces.
