U.S. officials speaking to Reuters said a U.S. fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, with a search underway for the crew on Friday, April 3. This comes as Iranian media claims U.S. pilots may have ejected over the country’s southwest.
At the same time, an airstrike struck Tehran, while Iranian missiles hit energy infrastructure in Kuwait. Now in its sixth week, the war is expanding across the region, raising fears over global energy supplies as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz.
