A US service member who has been missing since Iran shot down a fighter jet has been rescued, two US officials said on Sunday. The crew member has been missing since Friday, when Iran downed a US F-15E Strike Eagle. A second crew member was rescued earlier. Earlier, Trump warned Iran to open the crucial Strait of Hormuz by his Monday deadline and Tehran called his threat "unbalanced and foolish". The fighter jet was the first US aircraft to have crashed in Iranian territory since the conflict in late February.
