US and Iranian forces have been searching for a missing American crew member after a US warplane was shot down.

Iran claimed to have shot down two US warplanes, one F-15 flying over the southwest of the country and a second plane involved in a mission to rescue the F-15’s crew.

Two crew members were in the F-15 jet. One member was rescued and the other airman is still missing, the BBC’s news partner CBS reports.
