America had to take a big step during the operation
According to media reports, this mission was as dangerous as it was complex. The US Army had to destroy two of its own aircraft while retreating. The aircraft were Lockheed C-130 Hercules, which are typically used for covert missions and to transport troops behind enemy lines. According to an American official, these planes were stuck due to technical or operational reasons. In such a situation, to save them from falling into the hands of Iran, the army itself destroyed them.

Iran claims: One plane and two helicopters shot down
After this incident, Iran also made a big claim. Iran’s military unit Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or IRGC says that it also destroyed many more American aircraft during this operation. According to Iranian media, a C-130 aircraft and two Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were also shot down in the southern region of Isfahan. These helicopters were part of the operation to search for the missing pilot. However, these claims have not yet been independently confirmed.
Iran’s leader took a jibe at America
After this entire incident, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf shared the picture of burnt planes on social media. He sarcastically said that if America gets a few more such “victories”, it will itself become weak. This statement also shows the increasing tension between the two countries.
Trump declared the mission successful
President Donald Trump declared this mission successful through social media. According to him, this rescue operation was done at night in the dangerous mountainous area of Iran, which was extremely difficult and risky. Trump said that this is the first time that two American pilots were safely evacuated at different times after going into enemy territory. However, the claim of Iranian media is completely different from this. He says that the American rescue mission was not completely successful.
America suffered huge losses in the war?
Some reports also say that at least seven American aircraft have been destroyed so far during this conflict. Aircraft like Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II are also said to be included in these. If Iran’s latest claims prove true, this number may increase further.
Experts believe that such incidents can further increase tension between America and Iran. At the same time, this situation can also become a challenge for Donald Trump, because he has been continuously claiming that America’s air power is very strong and Iran cannot compete with it. At present, it may take time to become completely clear as to what is the truth between the claims of both the countries.
