A U.S. fighter jet has been shot down over Iran and search-and-rescue efforts have so far recovered one of two crew members who ejected, a U.S. official told Reuters, in the first known incident of its kind in the nearly five-week-old war.
Two U.S. officials said the aircraft was an F-15E fighter jet, which has two seats: one for a pilot and the second for a weapons systems officer. It was unclear which of the two was recovered.
US President Donald Trump has been briefed on the situation, according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Iranian media report that authorities have offered a reward of 10 billion tomans (about £50,000) for anyone who captures a downed US crew member alive
