Bolton: Trump Likely in ‘Panic Mode’ After Iran Attacks US Fighter Jets

One service member was rescued and another remains missing after Iran downed two U.S. jets, escalating the conflict and testing White House credibility.

  • On Friday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard shot down an F-15 fighter jet and an A-10 Warthog, forcing both crews to eject. The A-10 pilot was rescued, but the F-15 crew member remains missing in Iran.
  • Former national security adviser John Bolton said Trump is "probably in panic mode" after the incidents. Bolton argued the lack of response "absolutely degrades White House credibility" as a "self-inflicted wound."
  • Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil passes. The conflict has cost at least 13 U.S. military service members and more than 1,900 Iranians their lives.
