A high-stakes US military rescue mission to recover a missing F-15 crew member has unfolded alongside a wave of deadly strikes inside Iran, dramatically escalating tensions across the West Asia. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has confirmed the deaths of five fighters in Ardabil following overnight attacks, reportedly linked to US and Israeli operations. The strikes coincided with an intense American rescue effort involving dozens of aircraft, an operation that officials are calling one of the most complex in recent times. Meanwhile, the conflict spilled beyond Iran’s borders. A suspected Iranian drone strike targeted a major energy facility in Bahrain, igniting a storage tank fire at Bapco Energies. Authorities later confirmed the situation was brought under control with no reported injuries, but the message was clear, the confrontation is widening.
