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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />Shortly thereafter, an A‑10 attack aircraft was also hit, forcing its pilot to eject and be rescued safely, according to officials. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br /> <br />#IranWar #USJetsDowned #F15E #A10Warthog #IranUSConflict #Trump #AirDefense #MiddleEastWar #BreakingNews #MilitaryUpdate #GlobalTensions #IranShootdown #War2026
