Iran ‘destroys’ key US spy plane as Pentagon plans ‘ground operations’ (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)The Department of War has yet to acknowledge any new losses or injuries from Tehran’s retaliatory strikes
Iran destroyed a $270 million Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS surveillance aircraft in its recent strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, which also damaged several other aircraft and injured at least 12 American troops, according to US media reports and new photos circulating online.
The extent of the damage to the aircraft “likely renders it unrepairable,” the Air & Space Forces Magazine wrote, while open-source intelligence analysts described it as a “total loss.” The Pentagon has yet to officially confirm the scale of the damage from the reported attack.
Meanwhile, the US Department of War is reportedly drafting plans for weeks of potential ground operations, despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that Tehran has already lost the month-long war and is begging for a deal.
Several US officials told the Washington Post that any mission would not be a “full-scale invasion,” but rather limited raids with potential objectives including the seizure of Kharg Island – a key Iranian oil export hub – or coastal raids near the Strait of Hormuz.
