#US fighter jet shot down over #Iran, search underway for crew, US official says
The prospect of US pilots being alive & on the run inside Iran during an ongoing conflict greatly raises the stakes for the US in the conflict. Iranian officials called on civilians to be on the lookout for survivors.

Tehran has kept the pressure on #Israel & its Gulf Arab neighbors, despite #US & Israeli insistence that Iran’s military capabilities have been all but destroyed.
Iran’s attacks on Gulf #energy #infrastructure & its tight grip on the #StraitOfHormuz, …have roiled stock markets, sent #oil prices skyrocketing, & threatened to raise the cost of many basic goods, including #food.

The channel showed metal debris in the back of a pickup truck while making the announcement but provided no other immediate details.
Throughout the #war, #Iran has made a series of claims about shooting down piloted enemy aircraft that turned out not to be true. Friday was the first time that Iran went on television urging the public to look for a suspected downed pilot.

In this case, though, following the #Constitution would have brought an even more basic benefit: Before it made its argument to the #Congress & the people, the admin would have had to figure out its objectives & how it planned to attain them.
The White House would have had to think through the operation more than it gives any evidence of having done — or, judging from Trump’s speech, than it is doing still.
