💥Iran Claims It Struck $100 Million U.S. F-35 Fighter Jet…⬇️👇

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has officially announced a significant escalation in regional hostilities, claiming to have successfully intercepted a U.S. F-35 stealth fighter over central Iran. According to official statements, the engagement took place at approximately 2:50 a.m. on March 20, 2026.

While the IRGC noted that the final status of the aircraft is still under investigation, they expressed a high probability that the jet was either downed or severely damaged, forcing an emergency landing at a regional U.S. military base. Tehran identified the weapon used in the strike as the SA-67, commonly known as Missile 358. This domestically produced surface-to-air missile is designed for high endurance, allowing it to track and engage high-value targets effectively over extended periods. In addition to the manned fighter, the IRGC reported the successful interception of 125 long-range drones launched by U.S. and Israeli forces. The SA-67 represents a critical component of Iran’s air defense strategy, combining precision and range to threaten both manned and unmanned assets. This incident marks a potential turning point in the conflict, highlighting Iran’s growing confidence in its military capabilities. If the strike on the F-35—a cornerstone of U.S. air superiority—is verified, it would represent a rare breach of advanced stealth technology. Analysts suggest that the claim underscores the increasing danger for aircraft operating in contested airspace, as the region remains gripped by intense military clashes involving multiple international actors.
