We begin today with major breaking news on the war in Iran. Three sources tell CNN a US fighter jet has been shot down over Iran, and a search and rescue mission is underway for two pilots. It's the first time since the war began just over a month ago, that a US aircraft has been downed by enemy fire. We begin our coverage with CNN Chief National Security Analyst Jim Sciutto in Tel Aviv.
