Coinworld News: According to two informed sources, a US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at a US military base in the Middle East after being struck by suspected Iranian fire. Captain Tim Hawkins, a spokesman for US Central Command, stated that the fifth-generation stealth fighter was conducting combat operations over Iranian airspace when it was forced to make an emergency landing. Hawkins said the aircraft landed safely and the incident is under investigation. This would be the first time Iran has hit a US aircraft since the war broke out at the end of February. Both the US and Israel are using F-35 fighter jets in the conflict, aircraft that cost over $100 million each. This emergency landing comes as senior US officials continue to claim widespread victories in their military operations against Iran. Defense Secretary Hegseths stated Thursday morning that the US is "achieving decisive victories" and Iran's air defense systems have been "destroyed."
