UPDATE: CENTCOM denies this report...
According to various reports on X, a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle reportedly crashed early Wednesday during a strike mission over southwestern Iran, possibly due to Iranian air defenses.
Both crew members reportedly ejected safely, and a U.S.–Israeli combat search and rescue (CSAR) team reportedly entered Iran about an hour later and recovered them.
However, U.S. officials speaking to The Washington Post rejected the claim.
Official confirmation from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) remains pending.
An American F-15 plane crashed in western Iran; the crew abandoned and were rescued by a joint American-Israeli force (most likely -Israeli Unit 669), reported Israeli journalist Amir Tsarfati.
We cannot get confirmation of this report from Central Command as of yet.
it's going to happen. they will get lucky shots in, and at times, the good guys will be trapped in, people on both sides will die.
fortunately it appears they survived and were rescued. id hate to hear they got captured because you know the savages would torture them to no end.
