BREAKING: Israeli F-35 Shoots Down Iranian Fighter Jet Over Tehran

The skies above Tehran turned into a combat zone before dawn as an Israeli F‑35I “Adir” shot down an Iranian fighter jet directly over the capital, in what officials in Jerusalem are calling a “historic turning point” in the shadow war with Iran.

According to regional security sources, Iranian radar detected suspected incoming Israeli strike aircraft and scrambled at least two fighters—believed to be upgraded MiG‑29s—to intercept. One jet climbed over the city’s northern districts, unaware that a stealth F‑35, guided by offboard sensors and US intelligence, was already stalking it from beyond visual range.
