US and Iranian forces are continuing the search for a missing American crew member after two US warplanes were shot down over southern Iran.
The incident marks the first confirmed downing of US military aircraft by Iranian forces in the five-week conflict, despite President Donald Trump’s earlier claim that the US had “beaten and completely decimated” Iran.
The missing airman, a weapons systems officer, was aboard an F-15E fighter jet downed on Friday. The pilot was rescued, according to US media reports.
Iranian officials have denied capturing the second US crew member from the downed F-15 and also disputed that the first pilot was rescued, calling it an “enemy tactic.”
At the same time, state-linked media are urging civilians to capture the pilot alive, with authorities and local groups offering rewards. In one widely reported case, traders have put up a bounty of about £50,000, which far exceeds the typical monthly wages in Iran.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has warned Tehran that time is running out on his latest deadline for a deal to end the war.

“48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Iran has responded to US and Israeli strikes by targeting Gulf energy infrastructure and tightening control over oil and gas flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran attacked an Israel-affiliated vessel with a drone in the strait, setting the ship on fire, Iran’s state media said on Saturday, citing the commander of the Revolutionary Guards’ navy.
