Trump gets a major shock as Iranian media claims US F-15E was shot down and pilot captured?

Unverified reports claim a US F-15E fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, with speculation that the pilot may have been captured. Iranian-linked media and IRGC sources suggest the aircraft was hit during escalating strikes under “Operation True Promise 4,” though Washington has not confirmed the claims. Meanwhile, missile attacks have hit key targets across the region, including bases and critical infrastructure. Despite intensifying conflict, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz continues. If confirmed, the downing of a US warplane could mark a major escalation in the already volatile Middle East crisis.
