US fighter downed in Iran, rescue helicopter also hit? Chaos unfolds as Mojtaba takes deadly revenge

As Donald Trump talks up a looming ceasefire and claims U.S. operations in Iran could wrap in “two to three weeks,” the war just delivered a brutal twist. Axios now confirms a U.S. fighter has been downed over Iran, with two crew members still missing and growing speculation that at least one pilot may be in IRGC custody. Tehran, meanwhile, boasts it “completely destroyed” an F‑35 from Lakenheath and threatens Gulf bridges after the U.S.–Israel strike on Karaj’s B1 span, even as Netanyahu vows to keep “crushing” Iran’s regime and steel industry.
