The Telegraph spoke about the possible impact of the missing pilot on the course of the war between the United States and Iran.

The fate of the missing pilot of the downed American F-15E fighter jet may become a turning point in the history of the Iranian conflict. This was reported on April 4 by The Telegraph newspaper.

"This in itself has caused a new stir. Did two crew members survive, and were the United States able to find and rescue them before the Iranians found them?" the publication says.

The article emphasizes that a successful rescue of both pilots would be an important moment for Washington, capable of strengthening confidence in the actions of the leadership and pushing American President Donald Trump to continue or even expand the military operation, including the possibility of a ground invasion. If the co-pilot is captured, public pressure will grow within the United States to stop the airstrikes and start negotiations, while Iran will receive a powerful lever to obtain concessions.

Another option is also being considered: the death of a fighter pilot during capture or the failure of a rescue mission. Under such circumstances, the United States may request a "punitive" response and possible ground operations against Iran.
