Iranian News Outlet Publishes Images Alleging US Warplane Downed Over Central Region

A US military aircraft, reportedly linked to the 48th Squadron of the US European Command, has been captured in images released by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The agency claims the aircraft was shot down by IRGC air defenses over central Iran. While earlier speculation suggested the aircraft might be an F-35, the images instead show markings associated with the US European Command, which operates a diverse fleet of aircraft, including F-35s, F-15s, F-22s, and F-16s. According to Tasnim, the fighter jet is based at Lakenheath Air Base in England and was deployed to the CENTCOM mission area for operations against Iran. US officials have yet to comment on the matter.
