    Iranian state media, quoting military sources, reported that two F-35I Adirs were intercepted and downed by Iranian air defense units during or immediately after their bombing run on targets near Natanz and other strategic installations. One of the pilots, described as a female aviator, was allegedly captured after ejecting over Iranian territory. Iranian Press TV wasted no time in proclaiming this as a global first: “Iran has earned the distinction of being the first country in the world to successfully shoot down fifth-generation fighter jets belonging to the Zionist regime.”

      So that’s a no, you have no legitimate source for your beliefs. If you did… you’d just post the Iranian state media post that supposedly exists.

      While lot of articles were spawned by the israeli state media post that wholesale made up this idea, NOT ONE SINGLE SOURCE FROM IRAN EXISTS THAT STATES THIS. Not a single one.

      So since there are no primary sources for this claim, I would hope you would reconsider your beliefs and maybe be a little critical in the future.
