Iran: l'armée dit avoir abattu quatre appareils américains lors du sauvetage de l'aviateur
Iranian armed forces said Sunday they had shot down four US military aircraft involved in the rescue operation for the American pilot whose plane was shot down Friday in Iran.
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the officer had been rescued "safe and sound" during a military operation.
During this operation, "two C-130 military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters of the US Army were destroyed," said Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesman for the Iranian joint command Khatam Al-Anbiya, in a video broadcast by state television.
Earlier, the army had recorded three American aircraft hit in southern Isfahan.
State media broadcast images of charred debris scattered across a desert area, from which smoke was still rising.
Since Friday, media outlets had shown images of residents, some armed, searching for the American airman after authorities promised a reward.
Tehran and US media have claimed that its aircraft, an F-15E fighter-bomber, was shot down, which Washington has not confirmed.
The Tasnim news agency, for its part, reported that strikes carried out during the rescue operation had killed five people in southwestern Iran, without specifying whether they were civilians or military personnel.
