Iran has claimed responsibility for shooting down another US F-15 fighter jet. According to a report by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency on Wednesday, the country’s air defense unit targeted and destroyed the aircraft. This follows an earlier announcement on Monday by Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which stated that three US fighter jets had been downed using domestically developed air defense systems.

Images and reports related to the downed US aircraft and pilot ejections have since circulated across social media and various news outlets. On Monday morning, Iran’s armed forces had also shot down an F-15 jet in the airspace near the Iran-Kuwait border, an incident confirmed by Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense.

The latest claim adds to a series of escalating military incidents between Iran and the United States, though independent verification of the reported shootdowns was not mentioned in the source.
