Iran parliament speaker mocks US search for missing pilot

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf mocked US efforts to locate a missing crew member following the downing of a fighter jet on Friday, April 3, Caliber.Az reports, citing his social media account on X.

According to the report, one of the crew members aboard the aircraft was successfully rescued during a search-and-rescue operation conducted by the US military. The status of the second crew member remained unknown at the time of publication.

Commenting on the situation, Ghalibaf ridiculed Washington’s actions in a post on social media.

After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from “regime change” to “Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?🥺”

Wow. What incredible progress. Absolute geniuses.
