No U.S. aircraft were shot down near Bushehr, Iran, despite a claim made on Iranian state TV, the U.S. military said.
Iran’s state TV said early on Friday that a U.S. aircraft was destroyed in Iran’s Jam governorate in Bushehr, citing its governor Masoud Tangestani.
“No U.S. aircraft were shot down. All U.S. air assets are accounted for,” the U.S. Central Command said in a post on X.
