What happened during the F-15 fighter jet incident over Iran?
Still no sign on Jack Callaghan, Fox News, of the weapons systems officer who was aboard the F-15 fighter jet. It was knocked from the skies over Iran Thursday night. Fox's Jonathan Hunt is in Tel Aviv.
It is literally a race between U.S. search teams and the Iranian military. They are also searching for that crew member. Obviously, Iran wants him. 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 US brought 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 were injured, but the helicopters landed safely. And an A-10 Warthog aircraft also crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. Its pilot was rescued. Fox's Peter Doocy has reaction to the shoot-down from the White House.
After the F-15E shoot-down 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.

They got a warning of a suspected cabin leak. The astronauts worked with engineers on the ground to troubleshoot. They determined it was a false alarm, and then they were able to move forward with that critical burn. The Artemis II astronauts have been sending back dramatic pictures of the Earth. When they pass behind the far side of the moon on Monday, they're likely to see features previously captured only by satellite images. Already, they're seeing the moon from a different angle than the rest of humanity.
Astronauts are required to exercise daily to help reduce muscle and bone loss in microgravity. President Trump is proposing a big spending increase for the military and cuts to domestic spending in his annual budget. Talk to Jared Halperin with more 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. The White House Budget Office also projects higher revenues next year. Still, the budget proposal is more symbolic than anything else, serving as a priority list for lawmakers who ultimately must approve federal spending. at the White House. Jared Halpern, Fox News.
