Another United States aircraft has crashed during the conflict with Iran ... this according to a report from the New York Times.

NYT -- citing two officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity -- reports that another plane went down in the Persian Gulf Friday.

The plane -- an A-10 Warthog attack plane -- crashed near the Strait of Hormuz around the same time an Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran.

The lone pilot of the A-10 Warthog has been safely rescued, the Times reports.

Iran state media celebrated taking down the first plane earlier in the day ... sharing photos of the debris -- and offering a "precious prize" to anyone who would hand the pilots over to Iranian police.

The cause of the crash is still unknown.
