The United States military confirmed that three of its F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets were accidentally shot down by Kuwait’s own air defense system during an Iranian attack. The incident occurred while the aircraft were engaged in a combat mission over Kuwait amid Iranian strikes involving aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones. All six crew members aboard the downed jets ejected safely and have been rescued in stable condition.
According to the US Central Command, the mishap took place as Kuwait’s defense systems responded to Iranian aggression. Kuwait has acknowledged the incident, and the US military expressed gratitude for Kuwait’s efforts and continued support in the ongoing operation. The statement emphasized that the shootdown was unintentional.
Separately, Iranian state television claimed responsibility for targeting one of the downed US aircraft in Kuwait but did not provide further details. The event marks the first reported instance of Iran’s older air fleet participating directly in the current conflict.
