On April 4th, Iran just shot down two U.S. military planes and back-to-back attacks, marking the first time American aircraft have been hit in this war. That's been raging for nearly five weeks. One service member got rescued, but at least one other is still missing after the incidents. Details are coming in on the strikes. Officials confirmed a fighter jet went down inside Iran, with a rescue op pulling one crew member to safety, while search teams hunt for the second. Separately, Iranian media reported an A-10 attack plane crash in the Persian Gulf after taking fire from their defenses, though a U.S. source says. It's unclear if it was shot down, or just went down on its own. This all dropped just two days after President Trump declared in a national speech that the U.S. had beaten and totally crushed Iran. The timing has everyone talking about how fast things can flip in this conflict. Now heading into its six-week, the war is shaking up global economies hard. Iran's hitting back at U.S. and Israeli strikes by targeting oil and gas setups in the Gulf

and clamping down on shipments through the strait of Hormuz. Search and rescue efforts are still underway for the missing service member, as tensions keep boiling over into bigger risks for energy markets.
