In a dramatic escalation of the Iran conflict, Iranian forces have shot down **two U.S. military jets — an F‑15E Strike Eagle and an A‑10 Warthog — just hours after President Trump claimed Iran’s air defenses had been destroyed.
The first confirmed incident involved a U.S. F‑15E fighter jet shot down over Iranian territory. One crew member has been rescued, while a search‑and‑rescue operation continues for the second missing airman.
Shortly thereafter, an A‑10 attack aircraft was also hit, forcing its pilot to eject and be rescued safely, according to officials.
These losses come amid ongoing conflict that has seen intense U.S. and Israeli airstrikes across Iran, and renewed questions about claims of air superiority from U.S. leadership.
With tensions rising and military stakes growing, this shift in air‑war dynamics marks a significant moment in the broader Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict saga.
