The US Air Force has lost at least seven aircraft in its war with Iran, CNN reported on Saturday.

The latest is the downing of two US fighter jets, an F-15 and an A-10, on Friday.

This raised the total number of manned US aircraft lost in the conflict with Iran to seven, according to the report.

It said on March 2, just days into the war, three F-15s were shot down in Kuwaiti, though all six crew members safely ejected.

Also, on March 12, six US personnel were killed when a KC-135 refueling tanker crashed in Iraq, while a second aircraft landed without issue.

The report also said on March 27, an E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control aircraft was destroyed while on the ground during an Iranian strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

A US Air Force tanker was also damaged in the strike.

In a separate incident, a US F-35 fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing at a US base in the Middle East last month after being hit by Iranian fire.

The region has been on alert since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.​​​​​​​

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
