TEHRAN, April 3, 2026 — Iran's Revolutionary Guard shot down a US fighter jet near Bushehr province, marking the second such incident in five weeks, according to Iranian state media and US government confirmation. The Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that a US pilot ejected and was captured, though US officials have not commented on the pilot's status. The US government acknowledged the downing of its aircraft but provided no further details. Earlier on Friday, Iranian forces launched drone strikes on a Red Crescent aid warehouse in Bushehr, destroying two containers. Separately, a power plant and water desalination facility in Kuwait were hit in what Iranian media described as coordinated attacks. A regional governor in southwestern Iran has offered a reward for the capture or killing of US pilots, escalating tensions. The incident follows rocket attacks on Israel earlier the same day. This marks the second US aircraft downed by Iran since hostilities intensified nearly five weeks ago. No additional details on casualties or diplomatic responses were immediately available.
