Iranian commander claims ambush on US troops

Iran's Army Commander-in-Chief, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, has provided new details on his claim that Iranian forces successfully ambushed U.S. troops south of Isfahan. He stated that a combined force from the army, IRGC, police, Basij, and local residents was ready, and that a U.S. C-130 transport aircraft was shot down with the first shot. The commander's account, shared via social media, has not been independently verified by U.S. or other international sources. This claim appears to be part of a series of assertive public statements by Iranian military leadership.
