US EditionIran claims it has shot down ‘invading’ US F-15 fighter jet near Hormuz Island: Watch video
- Iran's military said it shot down an F-15 near Hormuz over the southern coast and Tehran Times posted a 29-second video showing the strike hours after President Donald Trump's 48-hour ultimatum.
- Earlier this month, Iran claimed its air defences damaged an F-35, and President Trump warned Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face 'obliteration' on Truth Social.
- Iranian media released footage including a Tehran Times 29-second clip, but India TV Digital said it cannot verify the video's veracity and no country has issued official statements; pilots reportedly survived after ejecting safely, with the US military confirming a pilot's safety.
- Ownership of the F-15 remains unresolved, as Iran launched a probe and said it would cooperate with international organisations and neighbours.
- The wider conflict has seen four F-15s downed and earlier this month Kuwaiti forces mistakenly shot down three F-15E Strike Eagle jets, while the US military noted an F-35 Lightning II flew over Iran.
