Iran media says army searching for pilot of downed US fighter jet

Iran's Fars news agency said Friday the army had launched a search for the pilot of a U.S. fighter jet hit by an air defense system.

Contacted by AFP, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), responsible for military operations in the Middle East, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"Military forces have launched a search operation to find the American fighter pilot who was hit earlier today," Fars said.
