Iran’s leader Mojtaba Khamenei disfigured in strikes - US drops bombshell claim

Amid the Iran war, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a major press briefing at the Pentagon addressing the escalating war with Iran. During the briefing, Hegseth claimed that Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei was wounded and possibly disfigured during recent US-Israeli strikes. Hegseth also mocked Iran’s leadership, saying senior officials have gone underground and are hiding as military pressure increases. He questioned why Khamenei’s first address after taking power was delivered through a television anchor instead of appearing publicly. The US Defense Secretary also addressed concerns about a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil shipping routes, saying measures are being taken to ensure global energy flows remain stable.  ...

Israeli F-35I blasts Iran’s Yak-130: Deadly sky dogfight as IDF claims big win

Israel says its F-35I “Adir” stealth fighter jet has shot down an Iranian Yak-130 aircraft over Tehran, marking the first ever air-to-air kill by an F-35 in combat. According to the Israel Defense Forces, the interception happened during ongoing Israeli air operations targeting Iranian missile and military infrastructure. The historic shootdown also marks the first time in nearly four decades that the Israeli Air Force has engaged and destroyed a manned enemy aircraft in aerial combat. The F-35, developed by Lockheed Martin, is considered one of the most advanced stealth fighter jets in the world, equipped with cutting-edge sensors, radar systems, and low-observability technology that allows it to detect and destroy threats before being seen. ...
