⚠️ Why this is significant

This incident is widely seen as a major turning point in the conflict:

• It is believed to be the first time Iranian defenses have successfully hit a U.S. manned combat aircraft in this war.
• The F-35 is one of the most advanced stealth jets in the world, designed to evade radar and air defenses.
• The strike raises questions about U.S. air superiority over Iran, which officials had previously claimed was largely established.

Iranian sources have even released video they claim shows the strike, though this has not been independently verified.
