Russia: Iran was spooked by reports of U.S. F-35s when it downed airliner
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Iran@@@s accidental shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner last week this month occurred at a time when Tehran was spooked by reports of advanced U.S. stealth fighters in the area."There were at least six (U.S.) F-35 fighters in the air in the Iranian border area (at the time). This information has yet to be verified, but I@@@d like to underline the edginess that always accompanies such situations," Lavrov said.ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
