For the first time in five weeks of war with Iran, two American combat aircraft went down in separate incidents. One of two service members onboard an F-15E that was shot down was rescued, but a military official tells the News Hour the whereabouts and status of the second crew member is either unknown or has not been disclosed. During a harrowing rescue mission today, a Black Hawk helicopter was also shot at but was able to return to base. And the pilot of an A-10 Warthog was reportedly rescued after being shot down as it was leaving Iran's air space. @TheStephSy reports.

The U.S. Navy is the most powerful in history… So why can’t it fully protect the Strait of Hormuz? Watch this.

The killers fled the country, but were eventually arrested & jailed. Joey Barton later said this was ‘just a scrap’ & his brother shouldn’t be in prison. When I posted about this, he & followers attacked me. They won’t stop me remembering #AnthonyWalker & his family. RIP. 3/3
