The disappearance of an American pilot after a fighter jet was shot down over Iranian territory has raised concerns that he could fall into Iranian hands, becoming an instrument of pressure on the United States.

The search operation for the crew member has been ongoing for days, with American forces being intensively engaged, while according to Iranian officials, the Iranian military is also trying to locate him, writes the New York Times.

In a clear signal of interest in capturing the pilot, Iranian state media has called on citizens to help capture him, promising a reward.

According to the NYT analysis, the capture scenario raises parallels with the "Hostage Crisis" in Iran, an episode that has deeply marked relations between the two countries for decades.

At that time, 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days in the US embassy in Tehran, setting a precedent that, according to experts, Iran has subsequently used as a tool of pressure and propaganda.

Security expert Hamidreza Azizi estimates that in the event of capture, Iran could pursue two strategies: secret negotiations for an exchange or public use of the pilot for propaganda purposes.

According to him, the second scenario is more likely, as it would serve to demonstrate strength and exert political pressure.

Meanwhile, developments on the ground also show the high risk of operations in hostile spaces.

A Black Hawk helicopter was hit by ground fire during the search operation but managed to escape, while another fighter jet crashed in the Persian Gulf region, with the pilot rescued.
