5:19Now PlayingWhy was the F-15E so deep inside Iran?
What was going on close to Isfahan, where a large amount of Iran’s enriched uranium was last believed to be held?
There are reports that 100 US Special Forces operators were flown there.
There is some speculation that it may have been part of a secret operation to grab the uranium, that came unstuck when the jet was downed.
Exactly what happened is unclear, but there is enough footage circulating online to raise real questions about the initial account of what was going on.
The Security Brief takes a closer look at that dramatic rescue operation - and some of the questions that have arisen since.
