Several “flying objects” were destroyed during the US mission to find a stranded airman in Iran, the Revolutionary Guards say, Reuters reports, citing Tasnim news agency.

“During a joint operation (aerospace, ground force, popular units, Basij and police command), enemy flying objects were destroyed,” the group said after Iran’s police command announced an American C-130 aircraft had been downed in the south of Isfahan.

The spokesperson of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of the Iranian armed forces, said the downed aircraft included a C-130 military transport plane as well as two Black Hawk helicopters.
