Another F15 downed, this time over Western Iran - crew rescued by Israeli and US forces

7. I wasn't trying to do anything other than update with CENTCOM's denial, so no worries

They posted that denial on Twitter an hour or so ago. It's quite cryptic (it's not exactly a chatty account at the best of times), but categorical:

U.S. Central Command
@CENTCOM

🚫 Rumors circulating on social media of a U.S. F-15E crash in Iran early Wednesday are baseless and NOT TRUE.

I dont know how that timescale ties in with the reports you've seen.

If it ends up they're fibbing, they're going to develop a hell of a credibility problem. If it ends up the Israelis are fibbing, well ...

One debunking account I trust is BBC Verify's Shayan Sardarizadeh: https://x.com/Shayan86

He has nothing on this yet, and I haven't found any of the usual MSM sites or OSINT accounts I trust carrying it either as fact or to debunk it, but I'm trying to work at the moment!

If you click through, you'll see Sardarizadeh's been exposing a number of fakes to do with the Iran conflict, usually either AI or video game captures.
