Iran shot down a B-2
Analysis
The claim that Iran shot down a U.S. B-2 stealth bomber is not supported by credible evidence. Multiple sources, although all non-trusted, consistently report that the B-2 bombers successfully carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites without being detected or engaged by Iranian air defenses. Several viral images purportedly showing a downed B-2 have been identified as AI-generated fabrications. No official or reliable military sources confirm any loss of a B-2 bomber to Iranian forces. The claim aligns with a known pattern of misinformation and conspiracy theories surrounding advanced military technology and conflict events, lacking substantiation from trusted or official channels.
