Iranian and U.S. forces are racing to locate a missing crew member from a U.S. F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iranian territory, marking a major escalation in the ongoing conflict. One of the two crew members has reportedly been rescued by U.S. special forces, while the other remains unaccounted for. Tehran has urged civilians to help capture the missing individual, reportedly offering a reward. Iran claims its advanced air defence system destroyed the jet, while the U.S. has not fully confirmed details. The incident comes amid widening regional hostilities, with additional aircraft losses and intensifying cross-border strikes. (PC: The Hindu)
