TRUMP: "Iran has no firepower." SHORTLY AFTER THAT: "BOOM" A $100M U.S. F-35 was struck "by suspected Iranian firepower"

https://archive.ph/SzvOx#selection-401.7-401.48

Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. had obliterated Iran’s firepower, but a $100 million American fighter jet on Thursday made an emergency landing after being struck by what’s believed to be Iranian fire.

The F-35 made an emergency landing at the U.S. air base in the Middle East after being struck by Iranian fire, according to two sources to CNN.

U.S. Central Command confirmed that the stealth jet was flying a combat mission over Iran when it was forced to make an emergency landing.
