Iran Says US Forces Fell into Trap During Isfahan Nuclear Site Raid

Iran’s foreign ministry claims its forces ambushed US commandos in a failed attempt to infiltrate the Isfahan nuclear complex. State media reports that losses included one A-10 and two Black Hawk helicopters before US jets evacuated the trapped troops under heavy bombing. According to the report, the operation was ordered at a White House meeting and used two C-130 transports landing on an abandoned airstrip near the facility. Iranian officials suggest the mission’s true aim was to seize enriched uranium rather than rescue a downed pilot, pointing to discrepancies in the US account. Observers note questions about the pilot’s location and the scale of the deployment. The foreign ministry also highlights recent US-Israeli strikes that have killed over 2,000 Iranians and damaged thousands of homes, schools and hospitals.
