Search for missing airman presents serious test for US

The president has publicly downplayed the whole incident, claiming it will not affect negotiations with Tehran to end the war that began with the February 28 attacks by the United States and Israel. However, personally, this can be a serious concern; Specifically, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is said to have launched its own search for the missing American, reportedly using soldiers and locals and offering them a reward of around $66,000 (£50,000) to capture him alive.
