Iran War

Another United States aircraft has crashed during the conflict with Iran ... this according to a report from the New York Times.

NYT -- citing two officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity -- reports that another plane went down in the Persian Gulf Friday.

The plane -- an A-10 Warthog attack plane -- crashed near the Strait of Hormuz around the same time an Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran.

Huge update with the U.S. fighter jet that was shot down over Iran ... one of the two crew members has been rescued by U.S. special forces.

The search for the other crew member is still ongoing ... Axios reports, citing an Israeli official and a second source.

It looks like a large military plane, and a couple helicopters are involved in search efforts.

Iran is flaunting a U.S. fighter jet it claims to have shot down ... and the U.S. military is reportedly launching a rescue mission for the crew.

Iranian media and a source "familiar with the incident" are saying responders are searching for the jet's two crew members ... Axios reports.

Iranian state media published pictures Friday, allegedly showing the debris from the crash. There are conflicting reports about whether the plane in question was an F-15 or F-35 fighter jet.

You can see in the photo ... there's a partial logo that reads "U.S. Air Forces in Europe" -- which CNN reporter Paula Hancocks says typically appears on the tailfin of an F-15.

President Donald Trump is keeping up his attacks on Iran, unleashing a massive bomb strike on the city of Isfahan that was captured on eye-popping video.

DT posted the 31-second clip on Truth Social Monday night, showing 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs exploding in Isfahan where it's believed uranium — which is used to make nuclear weapons — is stashed. 

The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed U.S. official, reported the attack targeted an ammunition depot in the city. 

Claudia Jordan says she and President Donald Trump used to be pals ... but the man in the Oval Office isn't one she recognizes anymore -- and she's calling out his mental state.

We spoke with the 'Real Housewives' star at the Better Brother Truth Awards at the Beverly Hilton last weekend ... and we asked her how she feels about the current state of affairs in American politics -- and Claudia isn't optimistic.

She tells us Americans gotta have some good karma coming their way after dealing with all the "bulls***" they've been putting up with in recent months.

FBI Director Kash Patel has been attacked -- or rather, his personal email has been -- because his account just got compromised by suspected Iran-linked hackers.

According to multiple reports ... the hacker group Handala Hack ​Team claimed responsibility for the cyber invasion -- and said Patel "will now find his ​name among the list of successfully hacked victims."

Reuters reviewed some material from the alleged Patel account, uploaded by the group ... which reportedly was a mix of personal and work correspondence ​between ​2010 ⁠and 2019.

A Justice Department official confirmed to the news outlet that ​Patel's account was hacked ... but offered no details about what was taken -- or the investigation into the perpetrators.

President Donald Trump somehow turned a conversation about the war in Iran into an opportunity to claim he's a hit with the gay community in the U.S.

During a phone interview with "The Five" on Fox News, host Jesse Watters asked the president about "Ayatollah Jr." -- an apparent nickname for Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, who took over as Iran's new supreme leader when his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was assassinated.

Jesse asked Trump about the leader's rumored assassination before speculating about his sexuality, saying ... "You kind of suggested we knocked out Ayatollah Junior, have we? And did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Junior's gay?"

Sydney Sweeney is jumping into the U.S.-Iran war conversation ... sending a sweet message to her brother, who was just deployed overseas.

The actress posted the message on her Instagram Story Wednesday night, saying she received calls from her brother, Trent, which always makes her happy after he's dispatched to a foreign region as part of the U.S. military. 

Sydney wrote ... "Thinking of all our boys and girls overseas and sending my love! Thank you for your service."

19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was publicly executed in Iran on Thursday for participating in protests against the Khamenei regime.

He and two other people were hanged "in the presence of a group of people in Qom," according to the Iran Human Rights non-government organization.

The IHRNGO says Mohammadi, Saeed Davodi and Mehdi Ghasemi were accused of being involved with the murders of two police officers during recent nationwide unrest -- prior to the country being attacked by the U.S. and Israel -- and are the first people to be hanged over these protests.

Combat athlete and human rights activist Nima Far told Fox News Saleh's hanging was "a blatant political murder" on Iran's part, accusing the regime of targeting athletes "to crush dissent and terrorize society."

IHRNGO Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam said Saleh's trial was "grossly unfair" and said he was tortured and coerced into confessing.

Amiry-Moghaddam warned that protesters are at "risk of mass executions" ... saying, "The Islamic Republic is fighting for its survival and knows that the greatest threat to its existence comes from the Iranian people who demand fundamental change."

Nima told Fox News that Iran should be banned from international competitions "until it halts executions of protesters and athletes, releases those jailed in sham trials, and ends retaliation against competitors who speak out or defect."

British journalist Steve Sweeney and his cameraman Ali Rida had an extremely close call today ... while reporting on missile strikes, they found themselves dodging one live on the air.

You have to see this video ... in the middle of a report, a missile is heard getting closer to Steve. He ducks just as the weapon drops into frame and appears to blow up just feet away from him.

Shrapnel is seen flying in all directions -- including towards Steve and Ali -- as the camera continued to roll.

Pete Hegseth says he's keeping it real with his son when it comes to the Iran War ... telling his 13-year-old the troops who died in Iran made the ultimate sacrifice for the next generation.

President Trump's Defense Secretary was talking to the media Thursday at the Pentagon when he mentioned his son ... claiming his kid popped in to his office the night before, when he was working on a speech, to ask him about the war and the families of the dead soldiers he went to visit at Dover Air Force Base.

Hegseth says he told his son the troops died for his son's generation so they don't have to deal with a "nuclear Iran."

President Trump laughed out loud when he was briefed about Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei possibly being sexually attracted to other men ... at least according to a new report.

Trump was shocked and amused when given intel on the Ayatollah's alleged sexual proclivities ... according to a new report Monday in the New York Post.

POTUS was also told Khamenei's father, who was killed in a missile strike at the outset of the Iran war, was concerned about his son taking over for him.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are living their best lives in NYC while her father, President Donald Trump, continues Operation Epic Fury in Iran ... they were spotted heading to a boozy dinner with James Rothschild and Nicky Hilton on Sunday.

Check out the pics ... Jared and Ivanka left separately to meet up with their high-society friends. Kushner was seen carrying a bottle of wine, while Ivanka clutched a phone and pocketbook on the way to her waiting car.

As you know ... U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, last month, initiating a new all-out war in the Middle East.

The conflict has risen to a fever pitch as Iran has virtually closed the Strait of Hormuz -- a critical passage for global trade -- and sparked the "largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market," according to the International Energy Agency.

Tucker Carlson says the CIA read his text messages with people in Iran and claims the agency is trying to get him charged as a foreign agent.

The conservative commentator made the allegation in a video posted to X Saturday, saying the CIA is preparing a criminal referral to the Department of Justice tied to conversations he had before the recent conflict with Iran.

"The CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me," Carlson said. "What's the crime? Talking to people in Iran before the war. They read my texts."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is daring Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, to show his face ... accusing him of hiding amid claims he's been disfigured, instead of speaking publicly.

Hegseth ripped into Khamenei after the 56-year-old’s first message since taking power aired on Iranian state TV ... a written statement calling for unity that was read aloud by a presenter.

In a Friday briefing, the Pentagon chief questioned why Khamenei didn’t appear on camera himself ... suggesting he’s scared, injured, or on the run after the recent strikes that killed his father.
