      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Several US aircraft were destroyed in the south of Iran’s ​Isfahan province during a &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-rescues-airman-whose-f-15-was-downed-iran-us-officials-say-2026-04-05/"&gt;US mission to ‌find a stranded airman&lt;/a&gt;, Iranian military officials said on Sunday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US officials told Reuters late on ​Saturday that a second airman ​whose &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-rescues-airman-whose-f-15-was-downed-iran-us-officials-say-2026-04-05/"&gt;F-15 jet&lt;/a&gt; was downed on Friday in ⁠Iran was rescued, a day after ​the first crew member was recovered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Additional investigations ​by experts on the ground revealed that two C-130 military transport planes and two Black Hawk ​helicopters of the US army were ​destroyed by our forces,” the spokesperson of the ‌unified ⁠command of Iranian armed forces said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Separate statements by the Iranian army and Revolutionary Guards said an Israeli Hermes-900 drone as ​well as ​a US ⁠MQ-9 drone were downed in Isfahan province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reuters could not immediately ​verify the Iranian accounts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Iran’s semi-official ​Fars ⁠news agency said US search operations were conducted from Saturday evening in three different ⁠provinces, ​namely Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, ​Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, and Isfahan.&lt;/p&gt;
