US-Israel-Iran War LIVE: A U.S. service member who has been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued, President Donald Trump wrote in a social media post early Sunday. After the F-15E Strike Eaglejet crashed on Friday, the United States launched an intense search and rescue effort. Iran also offered a reward to anyone who turned in the "enemy pilot." Earlier, a second crew member was saved. The aviator is hurt but "will be just fine," according to Trump, who also stated that he sought safety "in the treacherous mountains of Iran." Meanwhile, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar spoke to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani on Sunday and discussed the West Asia conflict amid US President Donald Trump's fresh ultimatum to Iran demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
