They can't do a thing about it.

We're flying wherever we want, Pete.

We have nobody even shooting at us.

Nobody's even shooting at us.

Well, it turns out that's not true.

Today, Americans woke up to the news that Iran had shot down a US F-15 fighter jet flying over Iranian airspace.

Two crew members were ejected from the plane before it crashed inside Iran.

American forces then proceeded to carry out a search and rescue operation inside Iran, looking for the stranded crew members.

One of those crew members has been rescued.

A search continues for the second crew member.

And that rescue mission has put more American service members in harm's way as they navigate Iranian territory in aircraft, as you can see here, that are slower moving and having to fly closer to the ground.

The Washington Post cites multiple U.S.

officials who say the two Black Hawk helicopters involved in the rescue operation were hit by Iranian fire, injuring U.S.

personnel on board.

Both aircraft were reportedly able to safely return to base.

Now MS Now has matched reporting that a second plane involved in the rescue mission took fire and was damaged.

The pilot of that plane was forced to eject over the Persian Gulf and was safely recovered.

Meanwhile, the Iranian government is offering Iranian citizens a reward for the capture of the missing crew member.

Needless to say, this entire situation is incredibly precarious and incredibly grave.
