    Two U.S. officials told CBS that one member of the crew of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down in Iran has been rescued. It is unclear how many occupants the aircraft had. According to these officials, U.S. forces conducted the rescue operation. The White House stated that Donald Trump was informed during the downing of the U.S. fighter jet over Iran.

    Images shared on social media show an aircraft and two helicopters flying at low altitude in Khuzestan province, which aligns with a search and rescue mission. Earlier, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated that it had targeted "an F-35 fighter jet of the U.S. in the skies over central Iran."

    "Holy shit... or Abolfazl!"

    On Friday, April 14, the state media of the Islamic Republic, including state television, claimed that a U.S. military jet was targeted and shot down in the skies over Iran.

    The Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, published images of the wreckage of this aircraft. CNN reports that contrary to the initial claims of Iranian officials, the released images pertain to an F-15 fighter jet, not an F-35. The U.S. military has not yet responded to these reports.

    Simultaneously, an account linked to the IRGC's intelligence organization published a photo of a pilot's seat after ejection (emergency exit during a crash) on Iranian soil.

    Hours after these reports, images of several helicopters and a refueling aircraft in the skies over Khuzestan, Kermanshah, and subsequently Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces were released by Iranian media. Fars news agency and state television claim that these helicopters and aircraft have entered Iranian airspace for the purpose of identifying and rescuing pilots.

    Local officials of the Islamic Republic in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province have urged armed tribesmen and villagers to "target foreign soldiers."

    ❌ The Iranian media video does not show the interception and downing of an F-16

    🔹 The IRGC and Iranian media claim to have targeted "an advanced enemy fighter"; however, the video released does not show the interception of the fighter.

    🔹 In the video, a passive short-range infrared defense system of the army/IRGC attempts to lock onto an F-16CM/CJ Fighting Falcon of the U.S. Air Force, which is conducting operations at low altitude over southern Iran, and fires a missile at it.

    🔹 Subsequently, the pilot of this fighter breaks the lock with maneuvers such as deploying flares and engaging afterburners, escaping the danger, and the defense system fails to launch the missile.

    🔹 What appears to be an explosion in the video is actually the fighter's use of flares and afterburners, not a missile hit or explosion.

    🔹 Therefore, based on the analysis of this video, Factnameh indicates that the claims made by the IRGC and these media are "incorrect."

    ♦️According to a report by the Washington Post citing informed sources, Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of Defense, is continuing changes at high levels by dismissing two more U.S. Army generals from their positions.
    According to the report, these two military officials include General David Hodin, who heads the "Army Training and Doctrine Command," and General William Green, who leads the "Army Chaplain Corps."
    These dismissals follow a previous decision to remove the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.

    Reuters reported that about 100 international law experts in the United States have signed an open letter after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, reiterated his threat to attack Iran's power plants and desalination facilities, stating that U.S. attacks on Iran could constitute war crimes.

    According to Reuters, more than 100 international law experts from universities such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and the University of California stated in the letter, published on Thursday, that the behavior of U.S. forces and statements from senior U.S. officials "raise serious concerns about violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, including potential war crimes."

    The signatories of the letter also referenced comments made a few weeks ago by U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who stated that the United States does not fight with "stupid rules of engagement."

    These experts expressed that they are "deeply concerned about attacks targeting schools, medical facilities, and homes," referencing an attack on a school in Minab.

    Around the city, my friends say the sound is faint, but one in Behbahan was really loud; we have no idea where it came from.

    The sound of an explosion was heard inside the city of Behbahan; it had already been reported at midnight.

    Today, a total of 9 explosions were heard in Behbahan; I think it was around Behbahan.
    The sound of fighter jets was also heard.
    And the last time was around 3:50 AM, a very loud explosion; I think this one was in Behbahan itself because it was truly terrifying.
    The house and windows shook violently.

    Hello, the city of Behbahan in Khuzestan province has been hit hard since 11 PM last night. At 11 PM on April 1st, there were over 10 massive explosions in Behbahan. After that, from 1 AM on April 2nd until now at 3 AM, the sound of explosions has been continuous. We still don't have accurate information about the locations of the explosions, but it seems to be near the Bid Boland gas refinery and the Sepah base in Bakhrudian, which is close to the refinery.

    Behbahan experienced a severe explosion.
    We were asleep and woke up.

    It was almost four o'clock when a very strange sound came from Behbahan.
    We were far from the source, but the sound was very loud.
    Before that, around 2:30, we heard strange sounds three times; we couldn't exactly tell what it was—whether it was an explosion, the sound of a fighter jet, or something else.
    Others in different parts of the city also reported hearing it.

    It's a kind of defensive reaction to mislead heat-seeking missiles that are fired at the fighter jets and seek the heat of the aircraft's engine.
