The second plane crashed nearly the same time that Iran shot down an Air Force F-15E fighter jet, where one member of the two-person plane remains missing.
A second American fighter jet crashed in the Middle East Friday, and the lone pilot has been safely rescued.
The second plane crashed nearly the same time that Iran shot down an Air Force F-15E fighter jet, where one member of the two-person plane remains missing. The second aircraft has been identified as an A-10 Warthog attack plane.
Details on the second crash were not immediately clear, including the cause of the incident and the location where the plane fell, but the pilot has been rescued.
The two incidents come after the U.S. and Israel began the weeks-long conflict with Iran in February, which resulted in the death of former Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated against the U.S. and Israel by hitting American bases in the region and the U.S. warned Iran could expand its efforts to impact U.S. facilities in other countries.
