Shooting down fighters doesn't affect negotiations with Iran, according to Trump
However, the mediators have declared that the ceasefire negotiations are "stifling." Iran has offered a reward for capturing pilots and Israel is putting its emphasis on Lebanon.
The situation in the Middle East is still burning, as evidenced by Iran's shooting down of US fighters, Iran's attacks on Israel, and the Israeli offensive against Lebanon.
The Iranian Armed Forces reported on Friday afternoon the shooting downof an A10 aircraft near the Strait of Hormuz , after confirming the shooting down of an F15 fighter aircraft.
"An A10 aircraft of the American Zionist enemy was intercepted an hour ago in the southern waters of the Strait of Hormuz by the country's air defence systems," the Army said in a statement broadcast on the official IRIB television channel.
A10 Warthog is an aircraft whose pilothas been rescued "safely and safely", according to the New York Times . The A10 Warthoga was shot down at the same time as the F15 was shot down.
U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected that the attacks will affect negotiations with Iran . "No, not at all. No, it's war. We're at war."
On the other hand, the Iranian authorities have launched a search operation in the province of Kohgiluye and Buyer Ahmad, south-west of Iran, in the area where the second US crew member is believed to have fallen. Local authorities in the region have ordered a "special recognition" for anyone who catches or kills the crew of the wrecked aircraft.
In a third incident, one of the helicopters involved in the rescue work, a Black Hawk UH60, has had to make an emergency landing in Iraq after being attacked by Iran while searching for its crew member.
Israel in Lebanon
The political branch of the Shia Hizbullah group warned on Friday that Israel's plan to occupy southern Lebanon poses a "serious" threat to the country and called on the state and other Lebanese actors to mobilize to help contain the attack.
The call comes after Israel this week confirmed its intention to control the border between the two countries, the Lebanese strip leading to the Litani River (8% of Lebanon's territory).
