Downed planes spell new peril for Trump as Tehran hunts missing US pilot
Iran's forces are searching for a missing US pilot after two warplanes were downed over Iran and the Gulf. The incidents have raised the stakes for Washington in a conflict with low public support among Americans and no sign of an imminent end.
Iran's forces downed two US warplanes, a F-15E jet and an A-10 Warthog fighter aircraft. Two airmen were rescued, but one pilot is still missing. Iranian fire also hit two Black Hawk helicopters engaged in the search. The incidents occurred as the war between the US and Iran entered its sixth week. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is combing a southwestern area near where the pilot's plane came down. The conflict has killed thousands and sparked an energy crisis, with no end in sight.
