Iran Shoots Down US Planes, Escalating Tensions

0:00It's April 4th. You're listening to Canada News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cory with the story. Iran just shot down two U.S. military planes and back-to-back attacks, marking the first time American aircraft have been hit in this war that's now. Almost five weeks old, one fighter jet went down over Iran, with a crew member rescued, but another still missing as search teams pushed forward. This escalation hit just two days after President Trump claimed in a speech that the U.S. had totally crushed Iran. Separately, an ATINY attack plane crashed in the Persian Gulf after Iranian forces struck it, though officials aren't sure yet if it was a direct. Shoot down. The conflict is shaking of global economies, with Iran hitting energy sites and clamping down on oil flows through the strait of hormones. In Dubai, debris from shot down drones damaged an oracle building and another structure, no one hurt, but Iran's guard is threatening that company. Plus, 17 others for alleged spying.

1:01Casualty numbers are climbing, with 365 service members wounded so far. 247 Army, 63 Navy, 19, Marines, and 36 Air Force. Most are mid-level or senior enlisted, and the death toll holds at 13. Search ops continue for that missing pilot, while tensions simmer in the Gulf, and we'll keep tracking how this plays out on the world stage.
