Iran warns of heavier US losses if fighting restarts

“Iran warns of heavier US losses if fighting restarts Abbas Araghchi said Iran was prepared to destroy more US aircraft if Washington chose to resume military action against Tehran. In a post on X, Araghchi said Iran’s armed forces had become “the first to strike down a touted F-35” and warned that any return to war would bring “many more surprises”. Araghchi also pointed to what he said were acknowledged US military losses, citing a recent Congressional Research Office report. The report, published last week, estimated that 42 fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft, including drones, had been lost or damaged since the United States launched strikes on Iran at the end of February.
