Hawzah News Agency- In a statement issued as Notification No. 38 by the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, the Joint Air Defense Headquarters confirmed that the hostile aircraft was targeted hours ago in the vicinity of Hormuz Island. The jet was intercepted and struck by surface-to-air missile systems operated by the Army’s Air Defense Force after being tracked entering the region’s airspace.
According to the Army’s Public Relations Department, the F-15—a twin-engine fighter commonly used by US and allied forces—was hit over the southern waters of the country. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the fate of the aircraft and its crew, with further details expected as the assessment continues.
The downing of the advanced fighter jet underscores the Iranian military’s heightened vigilance and its capability to confront and neutralize any hostile incursions with precision and force. The Air Defense Force remains on high alert, monitoring the skies across the nation’s strategic southern flank.
