BREAKING: Iran Claims US F-15 'Strike Eagle' Fighter Jet Shot Down In Kuwait Pilot Seen Ejecting (WATCH)

A US F-15 fighter jet was reportedly shot down in the skies above Kuwait early Monday morning, Iran's state media IRNA reported, citing local sources. However, there has been no immediate official confirmation from US or Kuwaiti authorities regarding the claim.

Iran-US-Israel conflict entered a third day, dragging the West Asia region and the world into a second major military conflict after Russia's war on Ukraine.

Visuals shared online showed an F-15 spiralling downwards in slow motion, with flames visible from its rear. It was not immediately clear if the plane belonged to the US or Israel, since the latter also operates the fighter jet.

Multiple media reports said and videos showed that the pilot ejected safely.
