What recent military events are unfolding in Iran?
Behind enemy lines. I'm Debra Valentine, Fox News. Search and rescue teams continue looking for a missing U.S. airman shot down over Iran. Fox's Mike Tobin has more from Tel Aviv.
The pilot of that F-15E Strike Eagle has been recovered, but there were two personnel on board that aircraft. The other was a weapons systems officer. That is the individual they are looking for. And as U.S. forces are searching for that weapons systems officer, the Iranians say they are searching for him as well.
Now, when search and rescue crews entered Iran to rescue that pilot, they came under enemy fire. Two U.S. helicopters were shot and crew members on board were injured. Those helicopters were able to land safety. Also, the Pentagon confirms that an A-10 Warthog crashed in the area of the Strait of Hormuz after coming under enemy fire. That has one pilot on board. That pilot has been rescued.
Israel announcing that they've paused fighting in the area that the F-15E went down as a search for the missing airmen continues. Reuters reporting Iran has executed two men linked to an opposition group convicted of carrying out attacks against the Iranian regime. President Trump proposing a big spending increase for the military and cuts to domestic spending in his annual budget.
Fox's Jared Halpern has 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.
