Two American fighter jets have been shot down over Iran in the last few hours . One of the pilots is still missing, while two others have been rescued. A helicopter was reportedly hit during the maneuvers and subsequently disappeared from radar.
According to the Wall Street Journal , the pilot of the second jet managed to exit Iranian airspace before ejecting . The Islamic Republic claimed responsibility for the downing: "An invading American-Zionist enemy A10 aircraft was intercepted and hit by the country's air defense network in waters south of and near the Strait of Hormuz."
According to US President Donald Trump, the incident "will not affect the negotiations" currently underway with the Tehran regime. However, the latter has reportedly rejected the US proposal for a 48-hour truce.
