Translation of the article starts here.

According to CCTV News, the Iranian side released a message in the early morning of April 5 local time, stating that the US military’s search and rescue operation for a pilot from a downed fighter jet was fruitless. They attempted to bomb and kill him by conducting airstrikes on possible hiding places inside Iran.

According to an Iranian military source who spoke on condition of anonymity, from the night of the 4th to the early morning of the 5th, the US military dispatched fighter jets and bombed multiple areas in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, which is adjacent to Khuzestan Province. The US side has reportedly become desperate in their search for the “second pilot.”

The source also claimed that regarding the US military’s rescue of the “first pilot,” “the Americans did not tell the whole truth.”
A US Air Force F-15E “Strike Eagle” twin-seat fighter jet was shot down over Iran on April 3. Both pilots ejected successfully. The US military then deployed search-and-rescue aircraft and helicopters into areas such as Khuzestan Province in Iran, successfully rescuing one pilot, while the whereabouts of the other remain unknown.

According to relevant reports, both the United States and Iran have intensified their searches, racing to locate this pilot before the other side does.
