Iran downs a U.S. F-15 jet and hits Gulf refineries as the war rounds its 5th week - NPR

Reports that an F-15 was downed in Iran, with one crew member rescued and another missing, fit into a pattern of escalating strikes and counterstrikes across the region. The president subsequently said the missing crew member had been rescued and would recover from injuries; U.S. military spokespeople have not publicly corroborated that statement. Combined with reports of other aircraft struck and damage to infrastructure, the situation remains volatile and closely monitored.
