Iranian strikes reportedly hit U.S. F-35 and damage military facilities
New photos reportedly show widespread damage at U.S. positions, while the Pentagon acknowledged that an Iranian strike hit a U.S. F-35 fighter jet. A Pentagon watchdog review also cites missile shortages and damage to U.S. facilities during the war.
Confirmed damage to an advanced U.S. aircraft, combined with broader facility damage and munitions strain, indicates a significant escalation in the operational impact of the Iran-U.S. conflict.
