US military denies claim US aircraft downed near Iran's Bushehr
CENTCOM said no U.S. aircraft were shot down as Iran’s state TV claimed a downing near Bushehr, and officials said all air assets are accounted for.
- On Friday, U.S. Central Command rejected Iranian state television reports claiming a U.S. aircraft was destroyed over Jam, Bushehr province, stating, "No U.S. aircraft were shot down."
- The denial follows renewed military exchanges, including U.S. strikes on Wednesday that intercepted five Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz and destroyed a ground control station in Bandar Abbas.
- Tensions persist despite a reported preliminary 60-day ceasefire extension between the United States and Iran, though the proposed agreement still awaits final approval from President Donald Trump.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned of a "more decisive response" to further attacks, while Kuwaiti authorities recently intercepted a ballistic missile fired toward their territory.
- International Relations professor Rajan Menon described the situation as a "game of chicken," warning that continued fire between the nations risks a return to war unless one side shifts position.
