A crew member of a US fighter plane shot down over Iran yesterday has been rescued, the Pentagon said.
But the fate of the second person aboard the F-15E is not known.
The New York Times reports one of the crew of the jet was rescued by a US Air Force Black Hawk helicopter.

The helicopter was struck by ground fire but was able to fly back to safety in Iraq, officials were quoted as saying.
About the same time the F-15E was struck, a second US plane was also shot down.
An A-10 Warthog crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, and the pilot was rescued.
The Warthog is a single-person fighter plane, while F-15Es have a crew of two.
Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf responded to the planes being shot down with a sarcastic comment on X.
"After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from 'regime change' to 'Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?'"
He added a teary-eyed emoji.
"Wow. What incredible progress. Absolute geniuses."

Iranian state television called on civilians to find the other crew member and offered a reward for their capture.
The US has continued their bombing campaign against Iran with more strikes on civilian infrastructure.
"Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran," US President Donald Trump said on Truth Social.
"Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!"
Trump threatened to bomb the country "back to the Stone Age" in a national address earlier this week.

Today Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian specifically referenced Trump's comments.
"Does threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age mean anything other than a massive war crime?" he said.
"History is full of those who paid a heavy price for their silence in the face of criminals."
Overnight Iran has also targeted a desalination plant in Kuwait. Drone and missile attacks were reported over Bahrain, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
