♦️ According to the New York Times, two U.S. officials who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter confirmed that on Friday, April 2, the second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf region. According to these officials, the pilot of the fighter jet, who was the sole occupant, was rescued safely.

The attack aircraft was an A-10 Warthog and crashed near the Strait of Hormuz almost simultaneously with the downing of an F-15E fighter jet over Iran. In the incident involving the F-15E, one crew member has been rescued so far, and search teams are still working to locate the second occupant.

Military officials have provided little detail about the circumstances and exact location of the A-10 crash, and it is still unclear whether the incident was due to a technical failure or if it was shot down.
