US F-15 crew downed over Iran; both missing: Reports

Two crew members of a US F-15E ejected over southern Iran on Friday after their fighter jet was shot down, according to Reuters and other US outlets. Search and rescue operations were underway, with videos on social media showing a US C-130J and two Pave Hawk helicopters circling low above rural terrain south of Lali in Khuzestan province. Iranian police urged residents to help find the pilots, and state TV promised a “precious prize” for anyone who captures them alive and hands them to authorities, the AP reported.
