In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, Israeli air forces targeted the Iranian state television building in Tehran on June 16, 2025. This airstrike marks the fourth day of intensified confrontations between the two nations, which have historically had a fraught relationship, characterized by mutual accusations and military actions.
In response to the Israeli airstrikes, Iranian media outlet Tasnim reported that the Iranian military successfully downed an Israeli F-35 fighter jet in the city of Tabriz, located in northwestern Iran.
The claim highlights the increasing military engagements between the two countries, amidst heightened tensions following recent geopolitical developments in the region.
Since the onset of the current hostilities, both nations have ramped up their military preparedness, with Israel reportedly conducting a series of airstrikes against various targets in Iran.
