IRGC Claims: US Aircraft Damaged During Strikes on Qeshm Island

According to Maariv, Hossein Mohebbi, a spokesperson for the IRGC, addressed the limited US strikes last night on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. He claimed that Iranian forces engaged in defensive fire and that most of the explosions heard in the area were the result of these actions. Without providing details on the type of aircraft or the extent of the damage, he alleged that a US aircraft was hit during the firing. Mohebbi further stated that restrictions on the range of Iranian missiles have been lifted, declaring that Tehran will demonstrate its new capabilities in the field rather than through slogans. He threatened, "Our war is asymmetric, and we can strike the enemy where they least expect it."
