Unconfirmed Reports of Fourth U.S. F-15E Crash Over Iran Amid Ongoing Operations

Claims have emerged that a fourth U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle crashed over southwestern Iran during a strike mission, with both crew members reportedly ejecting safely. The incident, highlighted by the OSINT account OSINTdefender, suggests Iranian air defenses may have caused the crash. A joint U.S.-Israeli rescue operation is said to have recovered the pilots. However, the U.S. Air Force has not confirmed this event, which follows a separate friendly fire crash of three F-15Es in Kuwait.
