NDTV: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran has claimed it has “successfully targeted” an American F-18 fighter jet amid escalating war with US and Israeli forces. Tehran also released a video purportedly showing a fighter jet losing altitude after being struck by what seemed like a ballistic missile in mid-air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran’s Press TV posted the video on its official channel on X and wrote, “Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announces that it has successfully targeted an American F-18 fighter jet. “The post, however, did not provide details on the location of the attack, the level of damage, or the pilot’s status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The footage shows the aircraft in flight before a flash of light strikes it in mid-air. Moments later, the jet seems to become unstable, trailing what appears to be a plume, suggesting it has lost control. NDTV could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Iranian claim was later denied by American forces, who said no fighter jet was shot down by Iran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
