Defiant Iran has taken out an Israeli F-35 fighter jet over the city of Tabriz in north-western Iran, according to a report by Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
While quoting Iranian military sources, the agency said that the country’s air defence system successfully targeted and brought down the Israeli aircraft as it flew over Tabriz.
The same sources claimed this is the fourth F-35 fighter jet to be downed since the latest round of military escalation between Islamic Republic and Israel started.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Israeli Defence Force (IDF) regarding the incident.
The development comes amid intensified clashes and a rising exchange of attacks between the two sides.
