What are the latest updates on the downed American aviator in Iran?
The race to rescue a downed American aviator continues. I'm Jack Callahan, Fox News. The weapons systems officer aboard an F-15 fighter jet knocked from the skies over Iran is still missing. Fox's Jonathan Hunt is in Tel Aviv with the latest.
It is literally a race between U.S. search teams and the Iranian military. They are also fighting. searching for that crew member. Obviously, Iran wants the propaganda victory of finding that person and parading him on TV. They were very quick to show pictures of the wreckage of the F-15, pictures of the ejector seat that was found with remnants of the parachute lying nearby.
That F-15E was shot down in southwestern Iran. It's a remote
area very challenging for any rescue operation but the u.s bought the full brunt of its forces to that rescue operation very very quickly two helicopters involved in that rescue operation were hit by iranian forces some crew members aboard the choppers were injured but the helicopters landed safely an a-10 warthog aircraft also crashed near the strait of hormuz that pilot was rescued
Fox's Peter Doocy with reaction from the White House.
After the F-15E shootdown became public, the president's first comment on Truth Social was, keep the oil, anyone? He also posted earlier today, our military, the greatest and most powerful by far anywhere in the world, hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran. Bridges, next. Then electric power plants. New regime leadership knows what has to be done and has to be done fast.
The president confirmed this crash won't change his plans for negotiations with Iran, telling NBC, no, not at all. No, it's war. We're in war. That suggests the timeline for ending epic fury laid out Wednesday night holds.
America is listening to Fox News. President Trump proposing a big spending increase for the U.S. military and cuts to domestic spending in his annual budget proposal. Fox's Jared Halprin reports from the White House.
The White House is asking Congress to approve $1.5 trillion in defense spending for the upcoming fiscal year, the largest total in history for the Pentagon. Part of the spending increase would be offset with cuts to health, housing, and education agencies. The administration says those can be done by eliminating woke, wasteful, and weaponized programs.
