The Iranian military’s central command says a new air defense system introduced by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has downed a “significant number” of US military aircraft.
A Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesperson issued a statement on Saturday, following media reports on Friday, that said a US fighter jet and another military plane had crashed after Iranian attacks.
The spokesperson called the day a “black and humiliating Friday” for the United States and Israel.
The official said the IRGC’s new air defense system targeted a highly advanced US fighter and other aircraft.
The official added, “We will certainly gain full control over our country’s skies and will prove the humiliation of the defeated enemy to the world more than ever before.”
US President Donald Trump earlier claimed that Iran has no anti-aircraft weapons.
