Iranian Media Offers Reward To Citizens Who Find Pilots Who Reportedly Ejected From Downed Jet

Source: International Business Times

Iranian state media claimed on Friday that forces downed a U.S. jet, calling on citizens to help find the pilots and "shoot them as soon as you see them." It then changed the directive, offering a reward to anyone who finds the pilots.

The Associated Press noted that the incident is taking place in the Kohkilouyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, some 300 miles southwest of Tehran.

Several videos posted on social media show what appear to be U.S. aircraft over the area conducting search and rescue missions.

the wreckage of their boat we had earlier blew up. Experts on martial law have been saying things like these nonjudicial murders, the war crimes of Cheney/Bush, and the current atrocities in which we are engaged, were bound to blow back on our service men and women. We have lost the high moral ground we are used to being able to preach from.

I really do fear for the well being of all our military members and their families, at this point.

Iran might very well now have some U.S. hostages.* Can you imagine video of American Pilots
being driven through a town that the U.S. had bombed on the back of truck?

Thanx for this nightmare Donny. The pilots’ family and friends must be going through hell.

* haven’t we already seen this movie?

Trump needs to stop NOW. If his cabinet is lying to him about the war, the news media needs to step in and explain what's going on.

We need that podcaster that highlights all the military movements in Ukraine to come in and do the same with Iran.

to do the right thing and to show the international community they are civilized people under attack by an evil USA which does not care about rules of warfare.
