      <title>Iran says downing of US jets shows military capability</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330456391/iran-says-downing-of-us-jets-shows-military-capability</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Celebrations erupted across Tehran after Iran’s military said the downing of two US aircraft demonstrated its continued combat capability against the United States and its allies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to a report in Al Jazeera, the announcements have been delivered in a markedly triumphant tone, reflecting a broader atmosphere of public celebration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nightly gatherings that have taken place since the start of the conflict appeared to intensify following the reported downings, with officials and supporters portraying the events as a significant military achievement.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iranian authorities said the incidents underscored long-standing claims that the country possesses military capabilities not yet fully deployed in the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They warned of further action, arguing that the United States had underestimated both the Iranian army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While details remain limited, officials confirmed that, in addition to the two aircraft, several helicopters and drones had also been targeted, with some unmanned systems reportedly shot down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The developments have been framed domestically as a sign of resilience and strength, boosting morale among supporters of the government and reinforcing official messaging that Iran is capable of sustaining the confrontation and ultimately prevailing.&lt;/p&gt;
