Has Iranian fire hit US F-35, one of world's most stealthy fighter?

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claims to have struck and seriously damaged a US F-35 stealth fighter jet during a pre-dawn operation over central Iran, with the fate of the aircraft still under investigation and a high possibility it may have crashed. The IRGC linked the incident to a broader air defense effort that included intercepting over 125 US-Israeli drones.

The pilot landed safely and is in stable condition, with the incident currently under investigation. The F-35 Lightning II is a cornerstone of US airpower, designed for stealth with advanced sensor fusion and the ability to operate in heavily defended airspace. Its design minimizes radar detection and allows it to carry weapons
