        "summary": "Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Friday to have shot down a US F-35 fighter jet in central Iran, marking the second such assertion since the escalation of conflict on 28 February, though the US has not responded and previously denied a similar claim. The incident occurs amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following US and Israeli airstrikes that killed over 1,340 people, including Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, prompting Iranian retaliatory drone and missile attacks that disrupted global markets and aviation. This development underscores the intensifying regional conflict, with Iran also threatening US tech firms and confirming the death of a key IRGC commander.",
        "content": "<p>Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Friday\n(3\/4) to have shot down a US F-35 fighter jet in central Iran, according\nto local media. The fate of the pilot remains unknown after the aircraft\nwas destroyed, stated the Tasnim news agency, citing an IRGC statement.\nAs of now, the United States (US) has not responded to the report. The\nIRGC statement marks the second time Iran has claimed to have shot down\na US F-35 fighter jet since the conflict escalation on 28 February. On\n19 March, Iran announced it had shot down an F-35, but the US denied\nthat claim. On Thursday, Iran also claimed to have downed an Israeli\nF-16 fighter jet. The Middle East has been on high alert since the US\nand Israel launched airstrikes on 28 February. Those attacks killed more\nthan 1,340 people, including Iran\u2019s then-Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.\nIran subsequently launched drone and missile attacks on Israel as well\nas US military facilities in Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries. Those\nattacks caused casualties, infrastructure damage, and disruptions to\nglobal markets and aviation. Iran, through the IRGC, has threatened to\nattack 18 US technology companies in the Middle East, including Google,\nMicrosoft, and Apple. Iran confirmed the death of IRGC Navy Commander\nAlireza Tangsiri due to an Israeli attack. This key figure behind the\nStrait of Hormuz blockade fell amid strikes on Tehran. The IRGC struck a\nUkrainian anti-drone system warehouse in Dubai. 21 Ukrainian personnel\nare feared dead in the operation targeting US-supporting military assets\nin the UAE. The United States and Israel launched a joint attack on\nIran, including Tehran, causing infrastructure damage and casualties.\nExpert analysis suggests the US-Israel war failed to spark a revolution\nin Iran. The military aggression instead strengthened military loyalty\nand silenced moderate groups within Tehran.<\/p>",
