The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman claimed that Iranian forces destroyed 11 American fighter jets and helicopters, 17 UAVs, 6 Patriot air defense radar systems, fuel depots, ammunition, aircraft hangars, and an Amazon AI data center between July 8 and 21, according to a statement carried by Iranian media. The claim is unverified and comes from a single Iranian source, without independent confirmation.
The IRGC spokesman's latest statement, published Saturday evening, provides a detailed breakdown of alleged destruction over a 14-day period from July 8 to 21. According to the statement, Iranian forces destroyed 11 American fighter jets and helicopters on the ground, 17 UAVs (including 8 new ones), 6 Patriot air defense radar systems, fuel depots, ammunition, aircraft hangars, and an Amazon AI data center. The claims are unverified and come from a single Iranian source.
The statement expands on the same spokesman's earlier claim from Saturday evening, which The Zioneer reported at 19:58 Jerusalem time, stating that 28 US aircraft had been destroyed over 15 days. The new breakdown adds specific numbers of aircraft types and mentions the Patriot radars and the Amazon center for the first time.
The IRGC has issued a series of similar claims in recent weeks, including alleged strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar. US officials have consistently denied any damage or casualties from these alleged attacks. The claims remain unconfirmed by any independent source or Western intelligence.
