A local Iranian state television channel asserted on Friday that a US fighter pilot ejected from their aircraft over southwestern Iran. The US has not yet provided any official response to this claim.

In an unusual announcement, a broadcaster in Iran's Kohkilouyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province urged citizens to capture any surviving pilots, offering a valuable prize for their handover to the police.

The claim comes amid heightened regional tensions, yet neither the US Central Command, the Pentagon, nor the White House have yet commented, leaving the incident shrouded in mystery.
