Iran’s military has claimed that they have shot down three large enemy aircraft in the southern part of their country. According to government news agency IRNA, this includes a large military transport aircraft and two helicopters. This incident took place in Isfahan province where security forces targeted them with heavy firing. After this news, tension has increased significantly in the entire Gulf region because these planes are said to be part of an American rescue mission.
Which planes were targeted and what is the whole matter?
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia headquarters has informed that among the downed planes are a C-130 military transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters. It is being told that these planes were over Isfahan when the Iranian Army, Police and Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) jointly conducted this operation. According to reports, these planes were part of a US mission to search for a missing pilot. Iran has warned that if there is any external intrusion into its border, it will be given a similarly strong response.

What is the big statement of Khatam Al-Anbiya Headquarters?
General Ali Abdullahi Aliabadi has clearly said that if America or its allies launch any attack, Iran will target all their important infrastructure facilities. Although US President Donald Trump has said that his missing pilots are safe, Iran claims that they have destroyed the planes that came for rescue. Even before this, Iran had claimed to have shot down several American fighter jets and drones, which has increased the concern of expatriate Indians and other people living in Gulf countries.
