There have been calls for the rescue of the second crew member of a US warplane that was shot down in Iran, but international media reports have said it has not yet been possible to evacuate him from the country.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear and full official confirmation has not been received.
Qatar-based media outlet Al Jazeera reported that US sources said efforts were underway to identify and rescue the second crew member, but that he could not be safely evacuated after the rescue operation.
The report said the rescue operation encountered resistance, although this information could not be independently verified. Neither the United States nor Iran has officially provided any details.
Meanwhile, there is conflicting information about where and how the plane crashed. While some reports mention a collision in a specific area, this is not certain.
