Iran says strike hit close to its Bushehr nuclear facility as guard killed

The US military is engaged in a desperate search for a missing pilot after an American warplane was shot down by Iran, which has now offered a reward for the pilot's capture. The incident marks a significant escalation in the six-week-old conflict, with Tehran calling on its citizens to turn in the airman.
The aircraft, identified by Iran as a US F-15E Strike Eagle, was one of two targeted on Friday. While one service member was rescued, at least one remains unaccounted for. This represents the first time the United States has lost an aircraft in Iranian territory during the ongoing hostilities, potentially signalling a new and dangerous phase in the campaign.

With Iran continuing to retaliate against US and Israeli airstrikes, the violence shows no..

An anchor on the Iranian state media channel said: “If you capture the enemy pilot or pilots alive and hand them over to the police, you will receive a precious prize.”

Trump told The Independent he is not yet ready to say what the US will do if Iranian forces get to the downed airman first. “We hope that’s not going to happen,” the president said before ending the call shortly thereafter.
