Iran rejects US ceasefire proposal as American fighter jet shot down
Sky News presenter Jonathan Samuels interrupted regular programming to deliver a breaking news update concerning President Donald Trump.
Iran has reportedly turned down a US 48-hour ceasefire offer, opting for a full cessation of hostilities instead of a temporary pause. This decision follows news of an American F-15 fighter jet being shot down over Iranian airspace.
President Trump commented that the aircraft’s downing would not impact negotiations but refrained from discussing the ongoing search and rescue efforts.
Public reaction online criticized Trump’s response to the escalating tensions, with some questioning his leadership in times of crisis.
White House sources confirmed ongoing updates to the President regarding the retrieval of the downed fighter jet crew members in Iran.
US special forces have entered Iran to recover the crew members, with one already rescued and receiving medical treatment. The operation continues for the second crew member.
This incident marks the first fighter jet shot down by hostile fire since the conflict began over a month ago.
