Iran Alleges Successful Downing of Second F-35 Fighter Jet

Iranian authorities assert that a second American F-35 fighter jet was brought down while in flight over central Iran, according to a statement issued by the Fars News Agency on Telegram. The agency reported that the aircraft was completely obliterated upon impact, with the extent of the pilot’s fate remaining uncertain due to the catastrophic damage sustained by the plane. Iranian news outlet Mehr suggested that the pilot’s ejection was unlikely, given the ferocity of the explosion that accompanied the crash. The US Central Command has yet to comment on the latest claim, although it did previously dispute an earlier assertion by Iranian authorities that they had successfully downed a US fighter jet.
