US F-35 requests emergency landing over Gulf of Oman

A U.S. Air Force F-35 fighter jet transmitted an emergency code 7700 over the Gulf of Oman, signaling an emergency and requesting an immediate landing, according to a report from Iran's state-run IRIB on May 10. IRIB cited a screenshot from an aircraft tracking website for the information. The emergency code has since disappeared from the tracking site, and no further information on the aircraft's current status is available.
