Iranian state media has urged civilians to capture American pilots after the regime claimed it shot down a US fighter jet.
The Iranian state-run Mehr News agency aired footage on Friday of a female anchor calling on civilians to help capture pilots of an American F-15E Strike Eagle that the regime says was allegedly shot down over Southern Iran.
Axios confirmed on Friday that Iran had shot down the fighter jet, citing Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident, and reported that a search-and-rescue operation is underway to locate the two crew members.
