A.com code NPR live from NPR News in Washington, I'm ryland barton. 2 U.S. air Force combat planes were shot down today. That's according to an official not authorized to discuss the incident. Two crew members have been rescued, but the search continues for a third. This comes despite the Trump administration saying it has destroyed Iran's anti aircraft capabilities, as NPR's Tom Bowman explains.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. has control of the skies over Iran and now able to fly in the lumbering B52 aircraft for bombing runs. And last month, an F35 aircraft was struck by Iranian fire, possibly a missile. The aircraft was very damaged, but the pilot was able to land back at base. The pilot was wounded by shell fragments and required stitches. So again, this latest two aircraft down shows the skies above Iran are still dangerous for U.S. pilots.

The Iranian government has said no ships linked to Israel or the US Will be allowed to pass. The ship had remained idle in the Gulf since early March, like many other non Iranian vessels after the war stopped nearly all commercial traffic. The Maltese flagged vessel belongs to shipping and logistics giant CMA cgm, the world's third largest container shipping conglomerate. Ship tracking data showed the vessel navigated the approved corridor along the Omani coast. CMA cgm, which is majority owned by a Franco Lebanese billionaire family, is understood to have coordinated the transit with Iranian maritime authorities. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
