Iran’s military has reportedly taken out two MQ-9 Reaper drones and an unspecified quantity of Israeli Hermes 900 drones in the Isfahan province, as per a statement from Iran’s Fars news agency, which is a semi-official news outlet. This development comes as part of a larger claim by Iranian officials that multiple aircraft have been destroyed within Iran over the past 24 hours. In a separate incident, an IRGC spokesperson stated that Iranian forces had successfully targeted and destroyed two US C-130 military transport planes and two US Black Hawk helicopters.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted an image on X purportedly showing the aftermath of the incident. Footage from state television has been circulating, detailing the alleged downing of a C-130 aircraft and two Black Hawks. The Khatam al-Anbiya military joint headquarters issued a statement claiming that Iranian forces had successfully targeted and destroyed enemy aircraft in southern Isfahan in response to a hostile rescue mission by the US.
This statement from the Iranian side reflects their immediate reaction to the incident, framing it as a victory. However, it contrasts with the US narrative, which has questioned Iran’s air defense capabilities. The Iranian perspective portrays the downing of multiple aircraft as a significant achievement, countering US claims.
Against this backdrop, tensions remain high, with Washington issuing warnings about potential infrastructural attacks in the coming days and hours, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
