US President Donald Trump announced that he is threatening to jail journalists who revealed details about the loss of a second crew member of a US F‑15 fighter jet after it was shot down over Iran.

Trump stated that his administration is working to identify the person who leaked the information to the media.

One of the pilots was rescued immediately after the plane crashed, while US forces later searched for the second crew member to ensure they did not fall into Iranian hands.

Trump said that releasing this information helped Iranian forces know that someone was still missing, complicating the rescue efforts.
