Claim that Iran shot down an F-15 denied: Strong statement from the US
Claim that Iran shot down an F-15 is baseless - The US Central Command (CENTCOM) definitively rejected claims that Iran shot down an American F-15 fighter jet. This statement aims to prevent the spread of news that could further inflame the already tense situation in the region.
CENTCOM officials stated that the disseminated information was untrue and that no US F-15 aircraft had been shot down. They specifically emphasized that such claims were spread as part of a disinformation campaign.
It should be recalled that these claims were primarily disseminated by Iranian state media and affiliated social media pages. The claims provided no detailed information about the circumstances or location where the F-15 aircraft was allegedly shot down.
The spread of such false news has the potential to further escalate the already delicate relations between the US and Iran. In recent years, military tensions between both sides have repeatedly reached their highest levels.
CENTCOM's denial is of great importance in preventing the spread of false information and accurately informing the public. US military forces continue their operations in the region.
This incident once again demonstrates the importance of being cautious about false news, especially in tense regions, and relying only on information from official sources.
