Middle East crisis

The war in Iran enters its 6th week as the search continues for the missing U.S. service member who bailed out of a fighter jet shot down over Iran on Friday.

A U.S. official said that one crew member had been rescued and U.S. forces continue to search for the second crew member.

An F-15 went down in Iran and a second Air Force plane crashed near the Strait of Hormuz as the war capped a week of intensified fighting.

Troops and their families have been pushed back to the United States after their bases in the Middle East were threatened by Iranian counterattacks. Community groups are scrambling to react.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Randy George to step down and retire, a U.S. official confirmed to NPR.

Israel says it's creating a "security zone" inside Lebanon, where homes will be demolished, and residents won't be allowed to return home until people in northern Israel feel safe.

As the war in Iran enters its second month, and President Trump signals an end to the war, many Iranians are urging the U.S and Israel to keep striking their country.

Trump's remarks came in response to a question about rising gas prices. He said they would fall once the U.S. leaves Iran, claiming that would happen in "maybe two weeks, maybe three."
