One F-15E crew member was rescued and a search was underway for a second after a fighter jet went down over Iran, a U.S. official said Friday.

Iran appears to have shot down the two-seater F-15E Strike Eagle, a U.S. official said, and the American military was scrambling to find the second aviator after a regional governor offered a bounty for its crew.
