[One US Fighter Pilot Still Missing; Trump: Hopes "That Scenario" Won't Happen] A US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle two-seat fighter jet was shot down over Iran on March 3. Both pilots ejected safely; one was rescued by US forces, while the other remains missing. US President Trump briefly gave a telephone interview to the British newspaper *The Independent* that day, and when asked how the US would respond if the pilot were captured or harmed in Iran, Trump said, "I can't say because—we hope that won't happen." He then quickly ended the call. (Xinhua)
