So do we think there’s any truth in the claims that two F35s were shot down last night?

No.
There's no mention of it on the Press TV homepage, or on Al Jazeera. I would think there'd at least be
a story in both of those publications and some pictures if it were true.

Sky are the first western source (that I have noticed) to mention it. Israel have denied it. It would be very embarrassing if it subsequently turned out to be true.

It was noted on the Guardian's feed yesterday, along with the Israeli denial. One would imagine the Iranians would release some footage of the wreck and/or captured pilot PDQ given its propaganda value, so I reckon if we hear nothing more today it probably is BS.

What has the IAF policy been in the past? Downed jet? Tank crews? Hostages?

I think they get the message out fast - particularly if women are involved - maybe my recollection is wrong

TWT 14th June 2025 08:41

Iran state media site Fars News Agency posted it and claimed it to be true. We'll see.

Well, to slightly misquote Cynthia Payne ‘They would say that, wouldn’t they!’

I would think that in short order, wreckage and/or crew or their remains would be paraded out by the Iranians if true.

I also think it is very unlikely to be true. I just found it interesting that Sky picked it up despite denials from Israel. I was not so surprised by the numerous other sources that carried the story.

You may well be right!

A claim to fame ... quoting old hookers .... accurately :ok:


"Well he would, wouldn't he?"

Stephen Ward was found guilty of living off the earnings of prostitution, from money obtained from Rice-Davies and Keeler among others, at a trial instigated after the embarrassment caused to the government.

While being cross-examined at Ward's trial, when James Burge, the defence counsel, pointed out that Lord Astor denied an affair or even having met her, she dispatched this swiftly with pert humour, "Well he would, wouldn't he?"

Often misquoted in other contexts as: "Well he would say that, wouldn't he?",[9] by 1979, this phrase had entered the third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, and is occasionally referred to with the abbreviation MRDA ("Mandy Rice-Davies applies").

The UK is sending more FJs to ‘the Middle East’ region. I assume they mean Cyprus.
