Israel-Iran war: Downed planes spell new peril for Trump as Tehran hunts missing US pilot
Iran is searching for a missing American pilot after two warplanes were shot down. Two airmen have been rescued. The incidents highlight ongoing risks for US and Israeli aircraft over Iran. The conflict, now in its sixth week, has caused thousands of deaths and threatens the global economy. US President Donald Trump has threatened further attacks on Iran's infrastructure.
Iran's forces were hunting on Saturday for a missing U.S. pilot from one of two warplanes downed over Iran and the Gulf, officials from both sides said, while two airmen were rescued.
