On the 36th day of the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran, tensions have escalated sharply as Iran claims to have shot down a US F-15 fighter jet. According to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the aircraft was targeted within Iranian airspace. Of the two crew members onboard, one pilot reportedly ejected safely, while US forces continue rescue operations for the missing crew member. Iran also claimed to have targeted additional US aircraft, including an A-10 jet, though these claims remain unverified. The US has not confirmed the downing but stated that ongoing diplomatic talks remain unaffected, according to Donald Trump. Reports also suggest US rescue helicopters faced hostile fire during search operations. Meanwhile, Iran has rejected US claims that its air defense systems are weakened, asserting they remain fully operational. The conflict continues to intensify, with both sides exchanging strikes, raising fears of further escalation and instability in the region.
