L'agence Anadolu rapporte que les forces iraniennes ont abattu un avion de chasse américain F-15 dans le sud de l'Iran. Il s'agit du premier incident de ce type plus d'un mois après le début de la guerre. Les deux pilotes à bord : l'un a été confirmé tué au combat, l'autre est porté disparu. Des opérations de recherche et de sauvetage sont en cours à la suite du crash. Le média d'État iranien Press TV avait précédemment diffusé des images affirmant l'abattage d'un F-15 Strike Eagle. La BBC et d'autres médias ont confirmé que l'épave appartenait bien à un F-15 américain. Le Pentagone n'a fait aucun commentaire. L'abattage s'est produit alors que le président américain Donald Trump affirmait que les avions américains opéraient sans encombre dans l'espace aérien iranien.
