00:21Iran claims breaking developments.
00:24U.S. ground troops are now inside Iranian territory,
00:28on second since the F-15 crash.
00:32Hebrew media reports that American commando forces
00:35have launched a field operation
00:37to locate a missing U.S. airman after a fighter jet was shot down.
00:42And this is rapidly turning into a high-stakes situation.
00:47The incident began when an American F-15E Strike Eagle
00:51was shot down over southwestern Iran.
00:54This marks the first confirmed U.S. combat aircraft loss inside Iran during the ongoing conflict.
01:02Two crew members were on board.
01:05One pilot ejected, was located and successfully rescued by U.S. special forces.
01:10But the second crew member is still missing.
01:13That is where things get complicated.
01:16U.S. special operations teams have now entered Iranian territory,
01:21conducting a combat search and rescue mission in hostile terrain.
01:26Helicopters, drones, and fighter jets are all part of this operation.
01:30But Iran is responding aggressively.
01:34State media is urging local tribes and civilians to join the search for the missing American.
01:40A cash reward of nearly $60,000 has been announced for anyone who captures the U.S. airmen alive.
01:48Videos circulating online appear to show armed groups scanning mountains and even firing at low-flying U.S. helicopters.
01:57This is no longer just a military operation. It is becoming a public mobilization.
02:04Experts warn this could quickly turn into a major embarrassment for the United States.
02:10If the missing airmen is captured, especially by local militias, it could hand Iran a massive propaganda victory.
02:17For now, one American is safe, the second still missing.
02:22And with U.S. forces on the ground inside Iran, this rescue mission could define the next phase of the
02:29conflict.
