Pentagon Confirms B-2s Struck Iran as Viral 'Shootdown' Claim Lacks Evidence

The Mount Damavand clip remains unverified, with no B-2 loss reported.

Overview

  • U.S. Central Command said B-2 stealth bombers struck Iran’s hardened ballistic-missile facilities during the operation.
  • A short video shared by X user Suliaman Ahmed shows a burning object falling near Mount Damavand in northern Iran.
  • The clip does not identify the object, and the original poster did not claim it was a B-2 aircraft.
  • U.S., Israeli, and Iranian officials have not reported a downed B-2, and Tehran has issued no announcement of such a shootdown.
  • Fact-checkers say the video’s authenticity and the object’s identity remain unconfirmed, cautioning it could be a drone, missile, or debris.
