Four Missouri State international students have legal status restored
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Four Missouri State University (MSU) students who had their legal status revoked earlier this month have been granted some relief.
Missouri State University has told Ozarks First that the three international students who had their F-1 visas and Student Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records terminated last week have since been reinstated.

A postgraduate student in the OPT program also had his active status reinstated, MSU says. The school has no updates on the other two post-graduate students impacted.
MSU says no other international students have lost their F-1 status as of now.
These reinstatements come as the Trump Administration's visa revocations for several international students in the country are being challenged in federal courts. One such case filed in Atlanta — where at least one Missouri State student is a plaintiff — led to 133 plaintiffs having their legal status restored temporarily by a judge, according to the Associated Press.

Iran reports downing of Israeli F-35 fighter jet
Iran's armed forces said on Saturday they had shot down a modern Israeli fighter jet during Israeli airstrikes. An F-35 fighter jet was brought down in the west of the country, a state broadcaster reported. The pilot of the fighter jet ejected himself but his fate is currently unknown and is being investigated, according to the report. There was no immediate confirmation or denial of the incident from Israel. Iran previously said it shot down several fighter jets during Israeli strikes on Friday. The Israeli military initially denied the reports. Israel launched an attack on Iranian nuclear sites, military leaders and top scientists early on Friday, which Iran has responded to with waves of retaliatory ballistic missile and drone attacks. Both sides have reported casualties, but neither appears willing to de-escalate the conflict despite growing international pressure.

Iran claims it has downed two Israeli jets - as it fires missiles in response to Friday's attacks
Iran claims it has shot down two Israeli jets and that its response to Friday night's attacks on nuclear and military infrastructure has begun. The reports emerged as smoke was seen rising from Tel Aviv as Iran launched missiles at the city. Air raid sirens had been heard across Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as the missiles neared Israel. The Iranian Army has said in a statement that its "defence forces successfully hit and destroyed two F-35 fighter jets belonging to the zionist entity, in addition to a large number of small drones". "The fate of the two fighter pilots remains unknown and is being investigated," the statement added. Meanwhile, the IRNA state news agency reported that the country's response to Israel's attacks on Friday had begun. It comes as a reporter with the Iranian Tasnim news agency said missiles had been fired from Shiraz and Isfahan in Iran towards Israel. Medics have said five people were injured in the Tel Aviv area due to Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel. Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency medical service, says it treated one person in moderate condition and four others lightly hurt by shrapnel in the Tel Aviv area. They were taken to hospitals in the city. The escalation comes after Israel launched a huge attack on Iran on Friday, which it says was aimed at degrading the country's nuclear ambitions and weakening its military. Israel was able to target key facilities and kill top generals and scientists. It said the barrage was necessary before its adversary got any closer to building an atomic weapon.
