The anchor on the Iranian channel urged residents to hand over any “enemy pilot” to police & promised a reward for anyone who did. The channel is in Kohkilouyeh & Boyer-Ahmad province, an intensely rural & mountainous region that spans over 15,500 square kilometers (5,900 square miles).
An on-screen crawl earlier urged the public to “shoot them if you see them,” referring to social media footage circulating of what appeared to be #US aircraft in the area.
The channel showed metal debris in the back of a pickup truck while making the announcement but provided no other immediate details.
Throughout the #war, #Iran has made a series of claims about shooting down piloted enemy aircraft that turned out not to be true. Friday was the first time that Iran went on television urging the public to look for a suspected downed pilot.

The prospect of US pilots being alive & on the run inside Iran during an ongoing conflict greatly raises the stakes for the US in the conflict. Iranian officials called on civilians to be on the lookout for survivors.

First #POW.
A channel affiliated with Iranian state television claimed Friday that a #US fighter pilot ejected from their aircraft over southwestern #Iran.
It was not clear what may have happened to the plane, including whether Iran was claiming it was shot down or there was another issue. If the claim is confirmed, it could lead to yet another dramatic escalation in the #war, nearing the end of its 5th week. The #Trump admin did not comment.
