Another combat aircraft with the U.S. Air Force, reported to be an A-10C Thunderbolt II, has crashed on the territory of a friendly country in the Middle East, after sustaining heavy fire over Iran.

According to The New York Times, citing two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters, in addition to the F-15E Strike Eagle shot down earlier today over Southern Iran, a U.S. Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II went down near the Strait of Hormuz about the same time that the F-15E was downed over Iran. The A-10C’s lone pilot was safely rescued and is receiving medical attention in a Gulf Nation.

Israel is providing intelligence to the United States in order to assist with the ongoing search for the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) of an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed earlier today over Iran, with N12 reporting that the WSO made contact earlier via an encrypted radio device with U.S. forces, as search-and-rescue operations continue in Southern Iran.

As initially reported by Newsmax’s Carla Babb, 2 U.S. Air Force HH-60G “Pave Hawk” Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Helicopters that were involved in search-and-rescue efforts for an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed earlier today over Southern Iran, were struck by Iranian surface fire, but the servicemembers are all safe, according to a U.S. official who spoke to NBC News.

Speaking during a phone interview earlier with NBC News, President Trump refused to discuss the specifics of and expressed frustration about some of the coverage of ongoing search-and-rescue efforts after an American F-15E Strike Eagle was downed over Southern Iran. Asked if today’s events will affect any negotiations with Iran, the President said: “No, not at all. No, it’s war. We’re in war.”

Significant wave of strikes currently underway against military and infrastructure sites across the Iranian capital of Tehran.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) notified the House Armed Services Committee earlier Friday of the downing of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle over Southern Iran, with one servicemember recovered and the second crewmember's status still unknown, a congressional aide with knowledge of the matter told CBS News.

The American Pilot of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was rescued after his plane was downed over Southern Iran earlier today, was recovered by two U.S. military helicopters. During the operation, the helicopter carrying the recovered pilot was hit by small arms fire, wounding crewmembers onboard the helicopter. The helicopter landed safely. All servicemembers are receiving initial medical treatment and will be transported for further medical care, two U.S. officials told CBS News.

According to CBS News, citing two U.S. officials, an American A-10C Warthog took fire and was severely damaged during a search-and-rescue mission for the crewmembers of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was downed earlier today over Iran. The A-10 pilot was able to make it out of Iranian Airspace and ejected over the Persian Gulf, being successfully recovered by the U.S. Air Force.

Iranian operatives have been digging out underground missile bunkers and silos struck by American and Israeli bombs, returning them to operation hours after an attack, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) still retaining a significant amount of its cruise and ballistic missiles as well as mobile launchers, according to recent U.S. intelligence reports shared with The New York Times.

Multiple strikes tonight against military and infrastructure targets in the Western Iranian city of Abadan, located on Abadan Island in the delta of the Shatt al-Arab only miles from Iran’s border with Iraq.

Statement today from Republican Sen. John Curtis of Utah, as several Republican lawmakers begin to break from President Trump over the ongoing and escalating Iran War:

“I stand by the President’s actions taken in defense of our national security interests in the Middle East. But we must be clear-eyed about history and the Constitution. While I support maintaining our readiness and replenishing stockpiles, I cannot support funding for further military operations without a formal Declaration of War from Congress.”

Reports of possible explosions in and around the Syrian capital of Damascus.
