Contrary to Dependent Media Propaganda, a So-Called "Rescue Mission" in Iran Ended in Total Failure: 2 C-130 Transport Planes and 2 Black Hawk Helicopters Destroyed

[MORE] AND PROBABLY NOT A RESCUE MISSION AT ALL

From [HERE] The so-called rescue operation carried out by the US military "ended in total failure," the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya asserted in a statement on Sunday. The operation, planned under the pretext of rescuing a downed pilot at an abandoned airport, was thwarted by the timely intervention of Iran’s armed forces.

According to the statement, the mission, described as a rapid extraction by the US military, was exposed as a deceptive maneuver carried out to mask Washington's military failure. 

"Based on prior intelligence and further on-site assessments by experts, it was determined that two C-130 military transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters belonging to the US Army were destroyed," the statement detailed, noting that the swift and powerful resistance from Iran's armed forces had compounded the US' repeated failures in Iran.

As a result, the Islamic Republic of Iran was able to demonstrate once more that the "weakened and bankrupt" US military was not a dominant or superior force in the imposed war on Tehran, particularly when faced with the resolve of the nation's armed forces, according to the statement.

Zolfaghari further noted that US President Donald Trump's "resorted to psychological warfare and false claims to cover up his defeat, as the ground reality has proven Iran's superiority in battle."

What did the US claim?

Earlier today, US officials told Axios that special forces allegedly rescued the second crew member of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran, following an operation that involved confrontations with the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and aerial attacks. 

On Friday, an F-15 fighter jet was downed over southwestern Iran. Both the pilot and weapons systems officer ejected and made contact with US forces through their communications systems. The shootdown, described by Axios as a "nightmare scenario," triggered an urgent search and rescue mission, while the IRGC mobilized to locate the missing personnel. [MORE]
