Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency says it has obtained images of a US fighter jet it says was shot down over central Iran by IRGC air defences.
The agency did not reiterate earlier claims that the aircraft may have been an F-35, but said the images show markings linking it to the US European Command.
It operates a range of aircraft, including F-35s, F-15s, F-22s and F-16s.
“The fighter jet belongs to the 48th Squadron of the US European Command, based at Lakenheath Air Base, England. The squadron has been deployed to the CENTCOM mission area for operations against Iran,” Tasnim said.
US officials have not commented.
