00:04Hello, and welcome to Global Pulse News.
00:07A U.S. fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, marking a significant escalation in an already
00:15unpopular war. Officials confirmed the downing late Friday. One crew member has been rescued
00:22and is receiving medical treatment, but the fate of a second crew member remains unknown.
00:28In a separate incident on Friday, Iran hit another U.S. combat aircraft. That pilot managed
00:36to steer the plane out of Iranian territory before ejecting, and was later rescued, according
00:42to a U.S. official. These incidents directly challenged the Trump administration's repeated
00:49claims of complete air dominance over Iran. For weeks, President Trump and Defense Secretary
00:56Pete Hegseth insisted that U.S. and Israeli forces had, quote, uncontested airspace. The
01:04president said just last month, and I quote, we literally have planes flying over Tehran.
01:11They can't do a thing about it.
01:13So far, U.S. casualties remain limited, with no known deaths in the past three weeks.
01:20But the downed jets highlight the risks of asymmetric warfare in a conflict the American public already
01:27largely opposes. Rising gas prices, shifting war objectives, and now these shoot-downs have
01:35further eroded support for the mission. We will continue to follow this story as more details
01:42emerge. Stay tuned.
