A search and rescue operation is under way after a US fighter jet was shot down over the west of Iran.

US media reports that one crew member has been found and rescued, while the fate of the second remains unknown.

If it is confirmed that the aircraft was struck by enemy fire, it would mark the first such incident involving a US jet since the start of the war.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump says the US could easily open the strait of Hormuz, take the oil and make a fortune – with a little more time.

And Iran carries out further attacks on critical infrastructure in Gulf States – damaging a desalination plant and a refinery in Kuwait.
