Iran has claimed it engaged a US F-35 fighter jet and intercepted an American drone following a series of new airstrikes launched by the United States against targets in Tehran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards stated that they reserve the right to retaliate against any perceived aggression from US forces, particularly after reports indicated that US drones and aircraft had entered Iranian airspace. These developments come in the wake of US military strikes targeting missile sites and boats allegedly attempting to lay mines in the region. The escalation occurs as Iranian negotiators arrive in Doha for the latest round of peace talks aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict, which has persisted for several months. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has suggested that a potential agreement remains achievable despite the recent military actions. Furthermore, the situation has led to fluctuations in global oil prices, raising concerns about the stability of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route for oil shipments. Reports from Iranian state media indicate that several individuals were killed in the airstrikes targeting boats near Larak Island.
