        "summary": "Iran has accused the United States of using a rescue mission for a downed fighter pilot as a pretext to steal enriched uranium from its territory, following the shooting down of US aircraft and drones. President Donald Trump claimed success in the operation involving Navy SEALs, but Iranian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, dismissed it as a deceptive ploy, noting discrepancies in the reported location and asserting that the mission was fully thwarted with several US aircraft destroyed. This incident escalates tensions between the two nations, highlighting mutual distrust amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the region.",

Iran accuses the rescue mission of being a US effort to steal\nuranium. Summarised by detikcom on Tuesday (7\/4\/2026), US President\nDonald Trump claimed that his forces successfully rescued the missing US\nfighter jet pilot after Iran shot him down on Friday (3\/4). At that\ntime, Iran shot down two US fighter jets, three drones, and two cruise\nmissiles. The US then deployed aeroplanes and helicopters in the\noperation to rescue the pilot from the downed fighter jet. Iran\nsubsequently claimed to have shot down two US aeroplanes and helicopters\ndeployed in the rescue operation. Following that, Trump deployed US Navy\nSEAL commando forces. However, Iran suspects that the deployment of US\nmilitary forces and equipment to rescue the pilot is merely a cover for\nstealing uranium. In its statement, the Iranian military described the\nUS mission as a \u201cdeceptive and escape mission\u201d and insisted that the\noperation had been \u201ccompletely foiled\u201d. Quoted by AFP, Iran\u2019s Foreign\nMinistry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated that there are \u201cmany questions\nand uncertainties\u201d regarding the US military operation in Iranian\nterritory. \u201cThe area where the American pilot is claimed to be in\nKohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province is very far from the area where they\nattempted to land or wanted to land their forces in central Iran,\u201d\nBaghaei said in a statement on Monday (6\/4). He stated that the\npossibility of the US wanting to steal uranium must not be ignored.\nBaghaei also added that the military operation was a \u201cdisaster\u201d for the\nUS. \u201cThe possibility that this is a ruse operation to steal enriched\nuranium must not be ignored at all,\u201d he emphasised. The Iranian military\nstated that several US military aeroplanes had to make \u201cemergency\nlandings\u201d in southern Isfahan Province after being hit by gunfire during\nthe rescue mission. Iran claims that the US was \u201cforced to bomb the\ndowned aeroplane\u201d as a result. Baghaei stated that two US military\ntransport aeroplanes of the C-130 type and two Black Hawk helicopters\nhad been destroyed by Iran during the rescue mission.<\/p>",
