A video has gone viral on social media with claims that it shows Iranian forces shooting down one of the B-2 Bombers used by the US in the US-Israeli strike on Iran on Saturday.
The video was shared by journalist Suliaman Ahmed on X. “A large aerial object appears to have been shot down near Mount Damavand in northern Iran. Footage shows a burning object falling from the sky before exploding on impact,” Ahmed wrote in the caption of the video.
Though Ahmed did not explicitly mention that it was US-owned B-2 Bomber, speculation swirled on social media around the video. However, as of now, there are no confirmed reports of a B-2 Bomber being shot down by Iran. Ht.com cannot confirm the authenticity of the video.
