The Israel Defense Forces say they have shot down an Iranian fighter jet,
which's a big deal. This is the time an F-35I Adir fighter jet has brought down a manned fighter jet in a fight. The Israel Defense Forces are saying this is a first.
The Israel Defense Forces claim that the F-35I Adir fighter jet shot down a YAK-130 aircraft over Tehran. The Israel Defense Forces made this claim in a post on X. The F-35I Adir fighter jet is made by Lockheed Martin and is considered one of the advanced fighter jets in the world. The F-35I Adir fighter jet has a design and advanced sensors, which make it very hard to detect on radar.
The Iranian YAK-130 is a jet that is used to train pilots. The Iranian YAK-130 is also used for combat missions. The Iranian YAK-130 was originally made by Yakovlev and Aermacchi.
There are explosions in Tehran right now. The conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran is getting worse. It has been five days since the conflict started. Iranian state television reported that there were explosions in the capital city at dawn. The Israel Defense Forces said that their air defense systems were activated to stop Iranian missiles. There were also explosions heard around Jerusalem.
The fighting started after the United States and Israel worked together to attack Iran weekend. The Israel Defense Forces and the United States attacked Iran, which reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Israeli government is now threatening his successor.
A lot of people have been killed in Iran, 800 people. The United States President Donald Trump said that the war could last for a month or even longer. He also said that some of the people who were killed were people he thought could be leaders of Iran.
The conflict is not just in Iran it is also in places. The Israel Defense Forces are attacking targets linked to Hezbollah, in Lebanon. Hezbollah is helping Iran in the war. Lebanese state media reported that least four people were killed when the Israel Defense Forces attacked a residential complex in Baalbeck.
The Israel Defense Forces also attacked Basij and internal security command centers in Tehran. The Israel Defense Forces said that these facilities were used by the government to control and secure the country.
The fighting is still going on with missiles and airstrikes happening in places. The region is very tense. It does not look like the conflict is going to stop anytime soon. The Israel Defense Forces and the United States are still fighting against Iran.
