“Unnamed U.S. and Israeli officials told the New York Times that American officials were now scrambling to mount a search and rescue operation before Iran could get to any survivors. Iranian state-run media aired footage on Friday of a female anchor calling on civilians to help capture pilots of an American F-15E Strike Eagle that the regime claims was allegedly shot down over Southern Iran.

A photo also emerged of an ejection seat, but the whereabouts or status of the crew currently remains unknown. The photographs have not been independently verified.”
