Social media accounts circulated a video showing a parachutist descending into an agricultural area while a group of people ran toward him, claiming it documents Iranian villagers capturing a U.S. F-15 pilot after Iran shot down his aircraft.

A video shows the moment the American pilot was taken captive.
