A U.S. fighter jet was shot down in southern Iran on Friday, prompting a frantic search-and-rescue operation that led to the restoration of one of many two downed crew members, U.S. officers mentioned.
The rescued crew member is secure in U.S. custody, although their situation is unclear, and an intense effort is underway to recuperate the second crew member, the officers mentioned, talking on the situation of anonymity to debate the continuing operation.
