Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Maureen Callahan will be here in just a bit, but we've got to start with something stunning happening in Iran right now. Multiple news organizations confirming that a U.S. fighter jet has crashed in Iran and that a search and rescue mission is now underway for the two-person crew. To our listening audience, we're showing you video right now from Iran verified by CNN that shows U.S. aircraft that's part of the search for the missing Americans. Both Axios and the New York Times reporting that officials believe Iranian forces shot down the jet. And the Washington Post reports that the aircraft is believed to be an Air Force F-15E. The fate of the crew remains unclear, but Israel's Channel 12 is reporting that one of the crew members has been successfully rescued.
Unknown 1:06
Let's pray that report is correct. They are citing, quote, Western sources for their information, but as of this hour, 12.01 Eastern, That's not been confirmed by the American press.

What happened with the U.S. fighter jet in Iran?

Unknown 1:20
CNN is also airing this image of an ejection seat on the ground in Iran, citing Iranian state media. You can see it looks like a or the co-pilot's chair, can't tell. This picture from the Iranian state media as well, of a partially destroyed wing of an F-15. It's also been circulating online. According now to multiple reports, you can see it right there, An anchor on Iran's state television read a statement calling on residents to help capture the downed Americans and turn them over to security forces for a reward. In other words, there's now a bounty on the head of the Americans inside of Iran. I thought we were supposed to be helping these people. I thought we were supposed to be greeted as liberators.
Unknown 2:18
I thought the vast majority of the Iranians were happy we were there. Why is it now so apparently the hatred widespread that a news anchor there is comfortable saying, yeah, work to find the pilot. There's a bounty on his head and turn him over to the Iranian guard. Not like shelter them, hide them till we can get them back to the Americans. There are also reports that Iranian state media is encouraging residents to shoot at search and rescue operations personnel. So our guys who are now over there in helicopters trying to perform the rescue may be getting shot at as they encourage residents to take up arms against us. Again, I thought we were going to be treated as liberators. According to the New York Post, the Iranians are claiming that the Revolutionary Guards, quote, their newly developed and advanced air defenses are what downed this jet, which they report is, quote, completely destroyed.
Unknown 3:24
Now, assuming all of this is true and we don't have any official confirmation at this time, I mean, trying to piece information together out of Iran right now is like trying to staple Jell-O. It's just very difficult and not trustworthy. But we do trust CNN's reporting on an American military jet going down. But this would be the first time that Iran has downed a U.S. aircraft inside the country since the war began. This morning on Truth Social, President Trump again commenting, not on this yet, but on the Strait of Hormuz with new messaging. I mean, we think it's hard to decipher what he means, writing, quote, with a little more time, we can easily open the Hormuz Strait. Who is we? We don't know.
Unknown 4:12
Take the oil and make a fortune. It would be a gusher for the world. Three question marks. Signed President Donald J. Trump. I genuinely do not know what he means. Does he mean we, the United States? Because he just said the other night in his remarks that it will open up as soon as we leave, suggesting it's up to the people who rely on the oil coming out of the strait to get it back open. And the president's suggesting as soon as we leave. the people who are bombing Iran leave Iran. That will happen. But now he's saying, we will open the strait and create a gusher for the world. Take the oil.
