The war, which began with joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Feb. 28, has killed thousands, shaken global markets, cut off key shipping routes and spiked fuel prices. It shows no signs of slowing as Iran responds to airstrikes with attacks across the region.
My theory is that the pilot is already dead because he parachuted head first into the only wood chipper facing up in the Iranian country side. But keeping the story that he is waiting to be rescued just attracts more American helicopters to take down.
