A US F-15E fighter jet was downed over Iran, with one of its two crew members rescued so far. This incident is the first of its kind in the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which began on February 28. The downing of the jet adds pressure on US President Donald Trump, especially as public support for the war is waning. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, about two-thirds of Americans believe the US should quickly end its involvement in the conflict, even if it means not achieving the administration's objectives. The Pentagon and US Central Command (CENTCOM) have remained silent on the incident, while Iranian officials have urged civilians to help locate the missing crew member. The governor of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province even suggested that anyone who captures or kills the airman would be rewarded. The conflict has resulted in the deaths of 13 US military personnel and over 300 injuries, with no troops taken prisoner yet. Despite Trump's claims of Iranian military defeat, US intelligence indicates that Iran still possesses significant missile and drone capabilities, complicating the situation further.
