Iran claims it shot down ‘F-18’ over Chabahar; US fact-check tells a different story

US Central Command has debunked Iranian claims of shooting down an American F-16 fighter jet near Chabahar. CENTCOM explicitly stated on X that no US fighter aircraft have been downed by Iran, refuting footage shared by Iranian state media. This denial comes as Iran rejected a US ceasefire proposal, insisting on its own terms for ending hostilities.
