The Iranians claim to have fired anti-aircraft missiles at US fighter jets over southern Iran, according to a single Hebrew-language report circulating on Telegram. The claim is unverified — no official Iranian or US confirmation has been released, and no details on interceptions, damage, or the aircraft's origin or mission are available.
This report follows a night of intense reported military activity across Iran, including explosions and air defense engagements in the same region. As The Zioneer reported earlier, analyst Chananel Aviv reported missile launches from Bahrain toward Iran (Tue 00:14 Jerusalem), and unverified reports indicated Iranian missiles were fired at US warships (Wed Jul 8, 04:21 Jerusalem). The current claim adds a new dimension — direct engagement between Iranian air defenses and US aircraft — but remains a single-source report pending corroboration.
