The United States has rejected reports claiming that a US F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet crashed inside Iran, calling the allegations “baseless and not true.” US officials clarified that no American aircraft had been shot down or crashed in Iranian territory. The claims had circulated widely on social media amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The Pentagon stated that the reports were misinformation and urged people not to rely on unverified sources during the ongoing conflict. The denial comes as the US remains involved in regional military operations, while speculation and unconfirmed reports continue to spread online about alleged air combat incidents. (PC: X)
