U.S. Claims About the Iran War Contradict Reality

Washington Post: “President Donald Trump has continued to describe the war against Iran as an unqualified success, saying as recently as Monday that the United States was doing ‘unbelievably well,’ while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tehran had been ’embarrassed and humiliated’ by U.S. forces.”

“But Iran’s downing of an F-15E fighter jet and the high-risk rescue operation that ensued showed that Tehran retains the ability to threaten the United States’ military personnel and cast doubt on the statistics Hegseth has promoted in recent weeks, boasting about ‘complete control of Iranian skies’ and ‘uncontested airspace.'”
