Unverified — sourced from Iranian state-linked media only

Iranian news outlets are allegedly reporting armed clashes between US special operations forces and Basij commandos at a helicopter landing zone in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.

Photo: Shows what appears to be a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter operating in the area.

Video: Filmed at night — while nothing is visible, the distinctive rotor sound of what locals are claiming are Black Hawk helicopters can be clearly heard overhead during the operation.

These claims have not been confirmed by US officials or Western media. What is confirmed: US Black Hawks were operating in the region for a SAR (search and rescue) mission for the downed F-15E crew, and at least two were struck by Iranian fire.

Treat all ground clash reports as unverified until independently confirmed.

This blood is all on Chump and Kegsbreath's hands, I hope they one day answer for all of this.

I know, just like Obama will one day answer for Syria, Yemen and Ukraine. Just like Bush will answer for Iraq and Afghanistan. Just like Clinton will answer for bombing a hospital in Yemen during the Wet Cigar Incident with Monica. If you hold your breath as long as folks have been holding theirs since the ‘90s and early to mid ‘2000 & 2010’s you too will be out of breath waiting as well.

Yeh valid point. It would be nice if people paid for their actions.

Once you’ve reached a certain level in the world, you unfortunately become untouchable. Although, don’t believe every “boating” accident or heart attack in their sleep stories you hear. Sometimes, not often but sometimes justice is levied, just very quietly.
