Iran has made a bold claim, stating that it has successfully downed another US F-35 fighter jet. However, the US authorities have yet to confirm or deny this claim. According to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) affiliated news agency, Fars News, the aircraft was hit while flying over central Iran, and it crash-landed on the ground. The report states that due to severe damage, no information is available about the pilot’s fate. This is the first F-35 fighter jet Iran has received, which was handed over in 2013.
On the other hand, Mehr News Agency has claimed that the intense explosion during the plane’s crash makes it highly unlikely that the pilot managed to escape. Meanwhile, the US Central Command has yet to respond to this claim, which is reminiscent of Iran’s previous similar claim, which was dismissed earlier. Experts agree that such claims require verification from independent sources, and the facts of the situation are yet to be fully revealed.
In a statement, the spokesperson of Khateem al-Anbiya emphasized that Iran will maintain complete control over its airspace.

According to an American official, no branch of the military is safe from the intervention of Patrick Higgens. A suspect was arrested for allegedly setting ablaze ambulances in London’s Jewish community. After the drone attack, a fire broke out on an Israeli ship, the MSC Ashika. According to government instructions, ships carrying essential goods to Iranian ports must follow the protocols set up for the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, stated that Iran has only targeted US military bases and interests in the region, while ensuring regional security benefits the countries in the region. Israel confirmed that an Iranian missile hit a building in its central region, after which rescue teams arrived at the scene.
