Two more US military aircraft were downed in the Middle East on Friday, in addition to an F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed earlier.
An A-10 Warthog reportedly went down contemporaneously with the crash of the F-15, according to the New York Times.
Officials have not stated the cause of the crash or the country where it occurred, but it reportedly occurred near the Strait of Hormuz.
The pilot was safely rescued.

Per Newsmax’s Carla Babb, “I’ve now confirmed the Blackhawk WAS hit by Iran. The crew is accounted for and is safe, a US official tells me.”

Jordan has played a critical role in exposing fraud and corruption in Arizona’s elections and elected officials. His reporting on election crimes in Maricopa County led to the resignation of one election official, and he was later banned from the Maricopa County press room for his courage in pursuit of the truth.
