Iran: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that it had successfully downed an advanced warplane south of Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. The IRGC stated that their air defense systems intercepted the aircraft, which they claimed belonged to the US and Israel.

According to Anadolu Agency, the IRGC released a statement through local media asserting that the warplane crashed into the Persian Gulf following the interception. The statement did not include additional details regarding the incident or the condition of the aircraft and its crew.

Iranian state television broadcast footage purportedly showing the moment the warplane was struck. The broadcast comes amid heightened tensions in the region following a joint offensive by the US and Israel against Iran on February 28, which has resulted in more than 1,340 casualties, including the death of then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In response to the offensive, Tehran has carried out drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and other nations in the region, including Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries that host US military assets.
