Reference Iranian claims of shooting down another aircraft today. As stated unverified.

BREAKING: Iran state media claims US rescue attempt for downed pilot failed, says Black Hawk helicopter was shot down — Tasnim, unverified visuals.

​​​​​​​Visual evidence suggests the US military is engaged in a search & rescue mission over #Iran at the moment. This follows claims an F-15 was downed earlier today.

​​​​​​​Iranian channels publish footage of U.S. Air Force HC-130J Combat King II and HH-60G Pave Hawk search and rescue (SAR) aircraft conducting an operation in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province in southern Iran this afternoon. These assets are dedicated for personnel recovery operations.

Earlier today, photos have emerged of the remains of a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle that has crashed somewhere in Iran, so its possible that a SAR operation to evacuate its crew-members might be now be underway, although its not confirmed yet.
