Tehran offers a 'generous reward' for the capture of the US plane pilot it claims to have shot down in recent hours, international media reported. Meanwhile, the United States was attempting to locate its soldier, although it has not officially commented on the incident. According to the ActualidadRT website, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published unverified videos of US military aircraft—Black Hawk helicopters and a Hercules 130 plane—flying over the area in search operations. The news of the reward is cited by the Associated Press news agency, which attributes it to an Iranian television affiliate. Failure of the rescue operation 'His pilot ejected and landed inside the country's territory,' says a statement attributed to the IRGC, according to information collected by the Argentine News Agency. The correspondent for the Tasnim agency claims that, given the possibility that their pilot might be alive, the Americans attempted to rescue him, but their efforts were in vain.
