US Military Aircraft Destroyed in Central Iran During Failed Rescue Operation
A spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya announced that a nighttime operation by US forces to evacuate a pilot in central Iran was unsuccessful, resulting in the destruction of several US military aircraft.
According to the military official, two US Air Force C-130 transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters were destroyed in clashes with Iranian armed forces. He emphasized that the operation was met with a rapid response from Iranian forces, and the mentioned equipment was targeted.
Details released indicate that the operation aimed to rescue and evacuate the pilot of a downed US fighter jet in central Iran. Meanwhile, reports suggest that one helicopter and another US aircraft managed to exit the area.
Additionally, some unconfirmed reports indicate another helicopter was targeted in southwestern Iran. No further official details have been released so far.
US President Donald Trump claimed in a message on his social media platform that the US aircraft were destroyed by their own decision. Iranian officials rejected this claim, describing it as an attempt to downplay the recent incident.
