The U.S. military's rescue operation inside Iran suffered heavy setbacks, sparking controversy after multiple aircraft were shot down.

U.S. military rescue operations conducted inside Iran today have resulted in the destruction of two Black Hawks and two C-130 transport aircraft.

As U.S. "performance-oriented president" Donald Trump claimed in a tweet that American forces were conducting an "unprecedented heroic operation" on Iranian soil to rescue pilots from a downed F-15 fighter jet, U.S. media outlets gradually revealed that two C-130 heavy transport planes had been shot down by Iranian air defenses.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced early this morning that two U.S. heavy helicopters involved in the rescue mission were also attacked and crashed south of Isfahan. Although the exact number of U.S. aircraft shot down and casualties among personnel remain unconfirmed.

Reports indicate that these operations have caused U.S. military casualties. However, accustomed to distorting facts and portraying defeats as victories, Trump appears once again resorting to a Hollywood-style narrative, attempting to obscure the new setback inflicted upon U.S. forces by Iran’s armed forces and the indomitable people of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province. The individual rescue mission is being used to mask the truth behind what has been widely labeled a humiliating failure and further loss of life.
