Three Iranian pilots identified as Javad Salehi, Abdolmajid Dashtian, and Omran Behraveshian have been held by Qatari forces for six months without family contact after their Su-24 jets crashed during an attack on Al Udeid Air Base. The West Asia conflict began February 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, followed by Iranian retaliation, an April ceasefire after nearly 40 days of fighting, and a June peace framework that later collapsed. Iran's army retrieved the body of a fourth pilot, Majid Kazemi, killed in the early March strike on the base.
