Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed to have downed an Israeli F-16 over central Iran, a charge Israel denies, stating only that one of its aircraft faced missile fire without sustaining damage. This incident follows Iran's earlier assertion of damaging a US F-35. Independent verification of any aircraft being hit remains elusive.
