Iran downed a US fighter jet, sources say. This is what you should know
A US fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, three US sources said, confirming Iranian state media reports.
US President Donald Trump has been briefed on the matter, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN.
Here’s what we know:
Iranian claims: Iranian state media on Friday released photos of what it claimed to be the wreckage of a US Air Force fighter jet downed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
About the jet: The Iranian reports said the jet was a F-35 stealth fighter, but CNN analysis of images published suggests it was more likely to be an F-15.
Status of crew: US sources said that the jet was shot down over Iran, and potential rescue efforts appeared to be captured in social video geolocated by CNN. Iran has been unsuccessful in its search for the missing crew, Iranian state news media Tasnim agency said, adding that local traders in the southwestern Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province were offering a reward of 10 billion tomans ($76,000) for anyone who finds the crew alive. An Iranian soccer player offered medals he won while playing for Persepolis FC as a reward too.
Where it happened: It wasn’t immediately clear where in Iran the jet went down. The US military and the White House have not commented on the situation or the status of the pilots.

- Israel is considering a plan to destroy civilian infrastructure in Lebanese towns and villages within 2 to 3 kilometers (about 1.2 to 1.9 miles) of its border to create a buffer zone, an Israeli military official said.
- President Donald Trump suggested the US could “easily” reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz “with a little more time.” A French-owned container ship crossed the waterway late Thursday, according to marine traffic data, in what is thought to be the first Western-flagged vessel to pass through the key channel since the Iran war began. World leaders have opted for diplomacy and ruled against military force to reopen the strait, according to Norway’s foreign minister.
