Which plane did Iran shoot down this time—an F15 or an F35? At first, Iran said it was an F35, but in the end, the U.S. side said it was an F15. It may now turn into just “a fighter jet” without the model specified. However, according to people with knowledge of the situation, this is the first aircraft to crash within Iran since the outbreak of the war. This should increase Iran’s leverage in negotiations. It could also intensify U.S. airstrikes; Iran’s power, transportation, and infrastructure facilities may be hit with retaliatory strikes. Khamenei must be ready for this.
