How did the claim of shooting down F-35 happen?
According to Iranian media, the IRGC’s Fars news agency showed the wreckage of the jet in pictures posted on Telegram. In these, “US Air Forces in Europe” can be clearly seen written on the tail of the aircraft. The Mehar news agency said the crash caused a “tremendous explosion”, making it highly unlikely the pilot would eject. US Central Command has not yet confirmed or denied the attack. Despite this, Iran’s claim has become a matter of serious concern for the world media and security experts.
