IRGC claims to have shot down US fighter jet, US dismisses claim

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claim to have shot down a US F-15E strike fighter near the country’s southwest borders, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency is reporting.

The US military has denied such reports.

Tasnim, citing the IRGC, reported that the twin-seat fighter had been “targeted and crashed”, without specifying when the incident allegedly occurred.

US CENTCOM posted on X that “rumors circulating on social media of a US F-15E crash in Iran early Wednesday are baseless and NOT TRUE.”
