A U.S. pilot may have been captured by Iranian forces after a fighter jet was shot down over central Iran on Friday, according to Iranian media and statements from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

I
nitial information indicated that U.S. forces attempted to locate and extract the pilot, but some sources suggested the pilot was likely captured by Iranian military units.

Investigations by Tasnim reporters in the provinces show that the Americans are using several Black Hawk helicopters, a Hercules 130, and reconnaissance drones to search for the fighter pilot.

Axios also confirmed that Iran has shot down a U.S. fighter jet, per Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident, and a search and rescue effort is underway to locate the two crew.

Second crew member from F-15 downed in Iran rescued by U.S. forces​



U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran, three U.S. officials tell Axios.

  • The crew member, a weapons system officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft on Friday but could still walk, and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day, one of officials said.
The big picture: The shootdown was a nightmare scenario for the U.S. military, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also racing to locate the missing U.S. officer in southwest Iran. Both crew members were rescued in special forces operations inside Iran.




  • One official said Saturday's operation was conducted by a specialized commando unit with a high volume of air cover, that the U.S. forces unleashed a hail of heavy fire, and that all of the forces were now out of Iran.
How it happened: According to two sources, the F-15 pilot and weapons systems officer both made contact via their comms systems after ejecting on Friday.

  • The pilot was rescued several hours after the plane was shot down. During that rescue operation, Iran struck a U.S. Blackhawk helicopter, wounding crew members, but it was able to fly on.
  • It took more than a day to locate and rescue the weapons system officer.
Behind the scenes: A senior administration official told Axios that prior to locating the weapons system officer, the CIA launched a deception campaign by spreading word inside Iran that U.S. forces had already found him and were attempting a ground exfiltration.

  • In the meantime, the CIA used "unique capabilities" to search for him. "This was the ultimate needle in a haystack but in this case it was a brave American soul inside a mountain crevice, invisible but for CIA's capabilities," the official said.
  • According to the official, the CIA shared his precise location with the Pentagon, the U.S. military and The White House, and President Trump ordered an immediate rescue mission.
 
Iran won’t open Strait of Hormuz in exchange for temporary ceasefire
Pakistani army chief holds all-night talks with JD Vance and Abbas Araghchi as regional mediators push for 45-day truce
**From The Telegraph:**

Iran has rejected a call to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in return for a 45-day ceasefire.

Pakistan presented Tehran and Washington with a peace proposal that would have seen an immediate pause in the conflict and a reopening of the key shipping lane.

While Iran said it was reviewing the framework of the broader agreement, an official insisted that the Strait would not be reopened.

The two-stage proposal came from Egyptian, Pakistani and Turkish mediators, who were hoping the 45-day window would provide enough time for talks to reach a permanent ceasefire.

Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan’s army chief, was in contact “all night long” with JD Vance, the US vice-president, Steve Witkoff, the US special envoy to the Middle East and Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, sources told Reuters.

The proposal, called the “Islamabad Accord”, would include a regional framework to reopen the strait, as well as in-person talks in Islamabad.

It is understood to include Iranian commitments not to pursue nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief and the release of frozen assets.

‘Trump will leave Nato unless European leaders stop being a**holes’
The President's threat is very real, according to a senior US Navy veteran, who urged the UK and other countries to rethink their approach to Trump

Sir Keir Starmer and other European leaders cannot risk alienating Donald Trump because the President’s threat to leave Nato is “very real”, a senior US Navy veteran has warned.

Mark Montgomery, a retired vice admiral, believes the continent’s armed forces – including the Royal Navy – are too weak to deter Russian attacks without American support.

He criticised the US President’s treatment of Britain and other allies, but said Europe must realise the huge risks if Trump becomes so angry that he rips up vital security guarantees.

UAE tells Euronews ceasefire not enough for Iran war solution, says 'no trust' in Tehran regime​

In a briefing to Euronews, the UAE president's diplomatic advisor called for a durable regional security solution beyond a ceasefire with the US as central to the Gulf’s security, as “there is no trust” in the current Iranian regime, but also sees a “more prominent Israeli influence in the Gulf.”

A ceasefire in the Iran war is not enough as a solution, but what is needed is a broader security architecture for the region, including weapons systems and regional conduct, as well as a stable security mechanism for maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, top United Arab Emirates official Anwar Gargash told Euronews.

While the UAE is not ready to act as a maritime force, it would join any US-led or international effort to secure navigation in the vital global waterway, the UAE president's diplomatic advisor said.

In a briefing with Euronews in Abu Dhabi, Gargash delivered one of the clearest assessments yet of how the United Arab Emirates is navigating escalating regional tensions, warning of long-term geopolitical consequences while underscoring the country’s resilience and strategic positioning.

Trump sent guns to Iranian protesters through Kurdish militias​

President says Kurds must have kept weapons that the US had dispatched to aid demonstrators

Donald Trump has claimed he sent guns to Iranian protesters via Kurdish militias.
The US president said he had dispatched “a lot of guns” to demonstrators, whom he had previously promised to save from crackdowns by the regime, but believed that the Kurds “kept them”.

“We sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds. And I think the Kurds kept them,” Mr Trump told Fox News on Sunday.
“We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them. And I think the Kurds took the guns.”

In January, Mr Trump declared “help is on the way” and that the US was “locked and loaded” to help Iranians protesting against the regime.

At the start of the year, Iran was rocked by the largest anti-government protests and riots in decades, as people took to the streets in anger of rising inflation, corruption and a sharp collapse of Iran’s currency.

At the time, Donald Trump threatened to “get involved” in the unrest, warning that he would hit Iran “very, very hard, where it hurts” if the regime’s forces continued killing protesters.
Witnesses described protesters, including children, being shot at close range or severely beaten by Tehran’s security forces.

It was never reported at the time that he tried to arm the demonstrators. It is believed that up to 30,000 civilians may have been killed by government forces.

 

Kharg Island under attack: Iran's 'crown jewel' targeted in fresh US strikes​

Iran’s critical oil hub, Kharg Island, came under attack on Tuesday, according to Iranian outlet Mehr News, marking a major escalation in the ongoing conflict between United States and Iran.

Described as Tehran’s “crown jewel” of oil infrastructure, the small but strategically vital island was reportedly hit by several strikes, placing it at the centre of the month-long military confrontation that has already disrupted global energy markets.

Why Kharg Island matters
Located in the Persian Gulf, Kharg Island is responsible for handling nearly 90% of Iran’s oil exports. Its importance stems from both geography and infrastructure, much of Iran’s coastline is too shallow to accommodate large oil tankers, making the island indispensable to its energy trade.

The island sits across from US military bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, making it highly vulnerable in any escalation. Analysts say any sustained disruption here could significantly dent Iran’s oil revenues and ripple across global fuel prices.
