A U.S. F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iranian territory on Friday as American and Israeli forces pressed forward with intensified strikes, marking one of the most dramatic single-day developments in a conflict now in its fifth week. The Pentagon launched a search and rescue operation for the missing crew member while global oil prices surged past $109 per barrel.
