WANA (Apr 05) – The spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters released a detailed statement regarding the failed U.S. rescue operation.

 

According to the statement, in the early hours of April 5, several U.S. aircraft entered Iranian airspace in an attempt to rescue the pilot of a downed fighter jet.

 

The spokesperson said that Iranian armed forces, using electronic warfare, advanced air defense systems, and ground-based defensive measures, targeted multiple aircraft.

 

The statement reported that two C-130 military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters were hit and forced to make emergency landings in an area south of Isfahan.

 

It further stated that, following the encirclement of the area by Iranian forces, U.S. forces carried out heavy bombardment on their own downed aircraft, equipment, and personnel to prevent further embarrassment.

 

The spokesperson added that the incident demonstrates that any attempt at ground operations or incursions into Iran would face a decisive response from Iranian armed forces and allied elements.

 

The statement concluded by saying that such developments cannot be mitigated through rhetoric or media operations and attributed the reported outcomes to what it described as continued military preparedness and support.
