<\/a>Iran Leaves Door Open for Peace Talks as Hunt for Missing US Pilot Continues<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nReuters<\/strong> and <\/em><\/span>Algemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Iranian forces were hunting for a missing US pilot on Saturday from one of two warplanes downed over Iran and the Gulf, raising the stakes for Washington as the war entered its sixth week with scant prospect of peace talks in sight.<\/span><\/p>\n The incidents show the risks still facing US and Israeli aircraft over Iran, despite assertions by President Donald Trump and his Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that US forces had total control of the skies.<\/span><\/p>\n The prospect of a US service member alive and on the run in Iran comes days after Trump threatened to bomb Iran \u201cback to the Stone Ages\u201d in a war that has killed thousands, sparked an energy crisis and threatened lasting damage to the world economy.<\/span><\/p>\n With Iran\u2019s leadership defiant since the start of the war, its foreign minister in principle left the door open for peace talks with the US via mediation from Pakistan, but gave no sign of Tehran\u2019s willingness to bow to Trump\u2019s demands.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe are deeply grateful to Pakistan for its efforts and have never refused to go to Islamabad. What we care about are the terms of a conclusive and lasting END to the illegal war that is imposed on us,\u201d Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on X.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump on Saturday repeated his threats to intensify attacks on Iran if it failed to reach a deal, or open the key Strait of Hormuz waterway.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRemember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out \u2013 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!\u201d he said in a post on Truth Social.<\/span><\/p>\n As hostilities continued, Iran attacked an Israel-affiliated vessel with a drone in the Strait of Hormuz, setting the ship on fire, Iran\u2019s state media said on Saturday, citing the commander of the Revolutionary Guards\u2019 navy.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran has virtually shut the \u200bstrait, which normally carries about a fifth of the world\u2019s oil and liquefied natural gas.<\/span><\/p>\n IRAN TOUTS NEW AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian fire brought down a two-seat US F-15E jet, officials in both countries said, while two US officials said the pilot ejected from an A-10 Warthog fighter aircraft that crashed in Kuwait after being hit by Iranian fire.<\/span><\/p>\n Two Black Hawk helicopters engaged in the search for the missing pilot were hit by Iranian fire but made it out of Iranian airspace, the two US officials told Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n The scale of injuries to the crew was unclear.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it was combing a southwestern area near where the pilot\u2019s plane came down, while the regional governor promised a commendation for anyone who captured or killed \u201cforces of the hostile enemy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Iranians, pummeled by air power since the US and Israel began their attacks on February 28, celebrated the plane downings.<\/span><\/p>\n The Khatam al-Anbiya joint military command said it used a new air defense system on Friday, which targeted a US fighter jet, three drones and two cruise missiles.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe enemy should know that we rely on new air defense systems built by the young, knowledgeable, and proud people of this country, unveiling them one after another in the field,\u201d a Khatam al-Anbiya spokesperson said, according to Iran\u2019s state media.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted various areas in Israel in a wave of missiles and drones. They also targeted US HIMARS rocket launcher batteries in Kuwait and Patriot missile batteries in Bahrain, according to a statement read on state TV.<\/span><\/p>\n Increasingly frustrated with the political fallout from the war, Trump is considering a broader cabinet shake-up in the wake of Attorney General Pam Bondi\u2019s removal this week, people familiar with the discussions said.<\/span><\/p>\n Any potential reshuffling could serve as a reset for the White House as it confronts rising gas prices, falling ratings and worries for Republicans heading into November\u2019s midterm elections.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve (US) got themselves caught in a sort of double bind. If they simply leave, it\u2019s really bad, and if they try to get the comprehensive defeat of Iran \u2026 that looks really bad as well,\u201d said Gareth Stansfield, a professor of Middle East politics at the UK\u2019s Exeter University and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve managed to get themselves into a lose-lose situation with this one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n PETROCHEMICAL ZONE STRUCK IN IRAN<\/span><\/p>\n Iranian state media reported air strikes at a petrochemical zone in southwestern Iran, with five people reported injured so far.<\/span><\/p>\n A projectile also hit an auxiliary building near the perimeter of Iran\u2019s Bushehr nuclear plant, the Tasnim news agency said, killing one person. The operations of the plant were unaffected.<\/span><\/p>\n Russia\u2019s state nuclear company Rosatom evacuated a further 198 of its staff from the site on Saturday, Russian news agencies reported, in evacuations already planned before the latest incident.<\/span><\/p>\n The Israeli military meanwhile said it had carried out \u201ca wave of strikes\u201d on Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n Israel has been waging a parallel campaign against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon after the terrorist group fired at Israel in support of Iran. Early on Saturday, Israel\u2019s military said it was striking the militants\u2019 infrastructure sites in Beirut.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Iran Leaves Door Open for Peace Talks as Hunt for Missing US Pilot Continues Reuters and Algemeiner Staff A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft refuels from a KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft during a mission supporting Operation Epic Fury during the Iran war at an undisclosed location, April 2, 2026.
