Thank you, Eman.

So we are talking about the crash of an American plane, It may be an F- 15

or an F- 35, the exact model has not been announced,

This plane’s model has not been announced,

and the exact crash site has also not been disclosed,

Because rescue operations are still under way,

and this is a standard military procedure,

but The Wall Street Journal Is saying that the plane went down in Khouzestan

Province in southwestern Iran, And more precisely, perhaps we are talking about

The Boyer- Ahmad area, near Khouzestan, with rescue operations or

attempts At rescue taking place in that area.

It is not very useful to talk much about how close or far

Khouzestan is from the border,

it is not very far from the western border, roughly less than 50 kilometers,

But according to the images that have appeared so far of the rescue operations,

the operation, the rescue efforts Are being carried out by air, and most likely

these aircraft participating in the operation Took off from somewhere in the area.

We know that in the Arabian Sea region there is an

Aircraft carrier, accompanied by its strike group, And from this

aircraft carrier,

it may be— this is one of the assumptions— at

least one of the planes that are taking part

in the rescue operation took off. At this moment, Axios is reporting that

American rescue teams have managed to locate one of the pilots

who were on board the fighter jet and rescued him alive. This is a Black Hawk,

an American helicopter taking part in the rescue operations.

According to the videos that appeared and spread, it is one of the aircraft that is

taking part in the rescue operations, and it was seen flying at very low altitudes.

This, naturally,

allows the soldiers to land on the

ground and rescue the pilot or pilots. So far we are talking about

rescuing one pilot, according to Axios. There is also a second plane that was

seen flying, also at a low altitude. This is a C- 130, a large plane, a huge plane,

but one of the features of this aircraft despite its large size is

that it can carry out a landing on an unofficial runway, meaning it is enough for

there to be a runway, even if it is sand or dirt. This plane can land,

and thus perform first aid procedures in a more professional way

than medical teams that would necessarily also be present on a Black Hawk

helicopter. The Black Hawk may well, and most likely does, carry soldiers,

while this plane is likely able to carry medical teams or others,

or even help with more intensive search operations, Iman,

especially since we are talking about rescuing at least one pilot and the

search is ongoing for the second pilot. Thank you, Salam Khadr.
