Iran war: What is happening on day 36 of US-Israeli attacks?
Iran has claimed responsibility for downing two US warplanes, with search and rescue operations underway for a missing crewmember. The incidents mark a significant escalation in the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, with rising casualties and stalled diplomacy.
Iran claims to have shot down two US warplanes, a F-15E Strike Eagle and an A-10 Warthog. Two American crewmembers were rescued, but one airman remains missing. The downing of the aircraft is seen as a major military success for Iran. Iranian officials said a new advanced defence system was used to down the planes. The conflict has resulted in at least 2,076 people killed and 26,500 wounded in Iran since February 28. Diplomatic efforts have stalled, with Iran rejecting a US proposal for a 48-hour ceasefire. The US has been briefed on the downing of the military jet, and a search and rescue operation is underway.
