The war in Iran continues on Saturday, as the capital Tehran witnessed explosions in the north and east of the city during the past hours, amid intensive overflights by fighter jets.
According to Iranian media, three areas were bombed and witnessed explosions.
Also, several blasts shook northern Tehran on Saturday, an AFP journalist heard, as the Middle East war neared its sixth week.
The blasts occurred at about 7:30 am (0400 GMT) and were accompanied by a loud sound from above as if coming from a drone, said AFP’s correspondent in the Iranian capital.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Mehr news agency, citing the Red Crescent, reported an attack on a laser and plasma research facility at Shaid Beheshti University.
Another U.S. warplane, an A-10 Warthog, crashed near the Strait of Hormuz at about the same time the F-15E was shot down, according to two U.S. officials. The lone pilot in the A-10 was rescued, according to New York Times.
CBS reported that a U.S. F-15E fighter jet was shot down by Iran. The pilot was rescued by American forces, and a search-and-rescue mission is ongoing for another crew member.
U.S. President Donald Trump has said the shooting down of an American F-15 fighter jet will not affect negotiations with Iran, in his first comments on the incident.
In a brief interview with NBC News, the US president refused to discuss the specifics of ongoing search and rescue efforts in Iran.
Citing officials familiar with the matter and mediators, the Wall Street Journal also reported that Qatar is resisting efforts by the United States and other regional countries to take on a leading mediation role in potential ceasefire talks with Iran, complicating efforts to move negotiations forward.
Qatar told US officials last week it was not keen on playing a central role in the mediation or lead the effort, the report said.
