On the 36th day of escalating conflict between the United States and Iran, tensions have sharply intensified with major developments on multiple fronts. Iran has claimed that it successfully shot down a US F-15 fighter jet, marking a significant escalation. According to Iranian sources, two crew members were onboard; one pilot reportedly ejected safely using a parachute, while search operations continue for the second crew member by US forces. Meanwhile, Iran has also launched heavy missile attacks on Israel, targeting the Negev region in southern Israel. Visuals from the area show extensive damage in industrial zones, with fires and thick smoke rising after the strikes. In response, the United States and Israel have carried out continuous airstrikes on Iranian cities, including Abadan, where massive explosions and a subsequent blackout were reported. Civilians reportedly experienced panic amid overnight bombardments. The situation remains highly volatile, with both sides engaged in intense retaliatory attacks, raising concerns about further regional escalation and instability across the Middle East.
