Iran says its air defenses are no longer just surviving the war with the United States and Israel – they’re winning in the skies. From intercepting Tomahawk and AGM‑158 cruise missiles near Tehran to claiming hits on U.S. F‑18s and even an F‑35 stealth jet, Tehran is painting a picture of a superpower’s arsenal being systematically blunted. Iranian officials and state media now boast of more than 130 hostile drones shot down, at least six American aircraft hit, and over 80 waves of missile and drone strikes launched in response. In this video, we break down Iran’s claims, what they reveal about the evolving air war over West Asia, and why U.S. officials are still insisting Iran’s capabilities are “degraded” even as bases are damaged, and troops pushed into hotels and remote operations. Is this Iranian propaganda, or has the balance of power in the air really started to shift?
