U.S. service member who has been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued, according to two U.S. officials who spoke early Sunday on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.<\/p>\n

\n

It comes after a frantic search-and-rescue operation. The crew member has been missing since Friday, when Iran downed a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle. A second crew member was rescued earlier.<\/p>\n

The war began with joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Feb. 28 and has killed thousands, shaken\u00a0global markets<\/a>, cut off key shipping routes and\u00a0spiked fuel prices<\/a>. Both sides have threatened, and hit, civilian targets, bringing warnings of\u00a0possible war crimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fighter jet was the first U.S. aircraft to have crashed in Iranian territory since the conflict in late February.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump said last week that the U.S. had \u201cdecimated\u201d Iran and would finish the war \u201cvery fast.\u201d Two days later, Iran shot down two U.S. military planes, showing the ongoing perils of the bombing campaign and the ability of a\u00a0degraded Iranian military to continue to hit back<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other jet to go down was a U.S. A-10 attack aircraft. Neither the status of the crew nor exactly where it crashed was immediately known.<\/p>\n

A frantic U.S. search-and-rescue operation unfolded after the crash of the F-15E jet on Friday, focusing on a mountainous region in Iran\u2019s southwestern province of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad.<\/p>\n

Iran also promised a reward for anyone who turned in the \u201cenemy pilot.\u201d Iran\u2019s joint military command on Saturday said that it also struck two U.S. Black Hawk helicopters Friday, but The Associated Press couldn\u2019t independently verify that.<\/p>\n

Trump renews threat<\/h4>\n

Trump renewed his threats for Iran to open up the\u00a0Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, a crucial waterway for global energy shipments that has been choked off by Tehran, by Monday or face devastating consequences, writing Saturday in a social media post: \u201cRemember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out \u2014 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doors of hell will be opened to you\u201d if Iran\u2019s infrastructure is attacked, Gen. Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi with the country\u2019s joint military command said late Saturday in response to Trump\u2019s renewed threat, state media reported. In turn, the general threatened all infrastructure used by the U.S. military in the region.<\/p>\n

But Pakistan\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Tahir Andrabi, told The Associated Press that his government\u2019s efforts to broker a ceasefire are \u201cright on track\u201d after Islamabad last week said that\u00a0it would soon host talks<\/a>between the U.S. and Iran.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said that Iranian officials \u201chave never refused to go to Islamabad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mediators from Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt were working to bring the U.S. and Iran to the negotiating table, according to two regional officials.<\/p>\n

The proposed compromise includes a cessation of hostilities to allow a diplomatic settlement, according to a regional official involved in the efforts and a Gulf diplomat briefed on the matter. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door diplomacy.<\/p>\n

A second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft went down in the Middle East on Friday, according to a U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive military situation. It wasn\u2019t clear if the aircraft crashed or was shot down, or whether Iran was involved.<\/p>\n

Iranian state media said a U.S. A-10 attack aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf after being struck by Iran\u2019s defense forces.<\/p>\n

The Bab el-Mandeb Strait<\/h4>\n

Iran\u2019s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, issued a veiled threat late Friday to disrupt traffic through a second strategic waterway in the region, the Bab el-Mandeb.<\/p>\n

The strait, 32 kilometers (20 miles) wide, links the Red Sea<\/a> with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. More than a tenth of seaborne global oil and a quarter of container ships pass through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhich countries and companies account for the highest transit volumes through the strait?\u201d Qalibaf wrote.<\/p>\n

More than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran since the war began.<\/p>\n

In Gulf Arab states and the occupied West Bank, more than two dozen people have died, while 19 have been reported dead in Israel and 13 U.S.\u00a0service members<\/a>\u00a0have been killed. In Lebanon, more than 1,400 people\u00a0have been killed<\/a>\u00a0and more than 1 million people\u00a0have been displaced<\/a>. Ten Israeli soldiers have died there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
