Iranian forces have launched a search operation for the crew of a United States fighter jet which was downed by an air defense system, Iranian media reported.
Iranian military forces were conducting a search to find the crew of the aircraft that was hit over southwestern Iran, the Fars news agency said on Friday, in the first such report in the US-Israeli war with Iran that began on February 28.
The US Air Force fighter jet downed during a combat mission over Iranian territory was a two-seat F-15E aircraft, CBS News reported, citing its own sources.
This information was confirmed to the news outlet by sources among US officials. According to the report, US servicemen are conducting a search-and-rescue operation for the two crew members of the downed jet. Specifically, a C-130 aircraft and two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were spotted flying at a low altitude over central and southwestern Iran.
