The spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has declared the so-called US military rescue operation a complete failure, describing it as a diversionary tactic and a hasty withdrawal carried out under the pretext of retrieving the pilot of a downed aircraft at an abandoned airport south of Isfahan.

According to the spokesman, the operation failed due to the swift and timely intervention of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Armed Forces.
Subsequent data and field investigations by experts revealed the destruction of two US military C-130 transport aircraft and two Black Hawk helicopters, the spokesman added. He attributed the losses to what he called “divine intervention” and the firepower of the Iranian Armed Forces, further exacerbating the US military’s ongoing setbacks.
The statement emphasized that these events demonstrate the US military’s impotence in this imposed war, asserting that Washington is not a dominant force in the face of the will of Iran’s Armed Forces.
The spokesman also noted that the US president, in the aftermath of the operation, is attempting to cover up the defeat through misleading statements and psychological warfare. He claimed that Washington’s justifications do not reflect the reality on the ground, which instead shows the clear superiority of the Iranian armed forces.
