The IRGC's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters is expected to make a statement in the coming moments, according to a single-source report. Separately, the Iranian Mehr news agency posted footage of an Iranian fighter jet flying over Tehran, which drew widespread mockery for appearing to show an ordinary airliner or a low-quality visual effect.
A single-source report indicates that Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters — a key IRGC command and engineering body — is preparing to issue a statement in the coming moments. The timing and exact content of the expected announcement remain unknown. Separately, the Iranian Mehr news agency released footage purporting to show an Iranian fighter jet flying over Tehran. The clip drew widespread mockery on social media, with users and analysts noting the aircraft appeared to be a civilian airliner or a crude visual composite. Neither the IDF nor US Central Command, which have both been active over Iranian airspace in the past 48 hours, have commented.
This development builds on a thread of reported aerial activity over Iran. As The Zioneer reported at 21:49 UTC on June 10, residents of Tehran documented footage identifying aircraft over the capital as belonging to the Iranian Air Force, following a prior unverified report of unidentified aerial activity at the same timestamp. Earlier, at 19:05 UTC on June 10, citizens across Iran claimed fighter jets and drones had penetrated the country's airspace. By 21:21 UTC, Gulf sources reported a new US fighter squadron taking off from Jordan toward Iran, alongside reports of explosions in Tehran — though those reports remain unverified. The mockery of the Mehr footage and the expected Khatam al-Anbiya statement add a new layer to this sequence, with the IRGC command potentially preparing an official response.
Attributed background from The Zioneer's wider reporting dates this aerial activity within a longer period of heightened confrontation. On June 7, Iran's IRGC Air Force commander and a senior military advisor threatened retaliation after an Israeli strike on an IRGC air base. On June 8, fighter jets were reported flying low over Tehran, and the same day Israel reportedly prepared a major Air Force strike on Iran. On June 9, the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters itself issued a threat directed at the United States. The current expected statement may be the IRGC's official position amid this ongoing campaign.
What remains open: The Khatam al-Anbiya statement is still only based on a single source, with no confirmation of its substance or timing. The Mehr footage has not been authenticated, and its mockery on social media does not confirm its inauthenticity independently. The nature and origin of the Iranian Air Force aircraft documented at 21:49 UTC also remain unverified beyond resident footage.
