Iran and Qatar give conflicting accounts of three downed pilots

Iran's military said Qatar is holding three pilots from aircraft downed in March. Qatar denied detaining them, said its search-and-rescue team recovered one pilot's remains, and said Iran did not respond to an April invitation to discuss the case.

Why this matters. The conflicting official accounts leave the pilots' fate unresolved and make access to evidence and a direct Iran-Qatar briefing the next tests of the claim.
