CENTCOM Denies Iranian Claim of 1 US Aircraft Downed Near Bushehr

CENTCOM said no US aircraft were shot down and that all US air assets were accounted for, directly rejecting Iranian state media reports of an aircraft destroyed near Bushehr.
Bushehr governor-cited reports on Iranian state TV and Tasnim had claimed Iranian forces downed a US aircraft in the southern province, but no evidence was provided in the report.
The denial came as Washington and Tehran were still negotiating a 60-day ceasefire extension and broader nuclear talks, with Vice President JD Vance saying language disputes — including enrichment — remain unresolved.
Neither Trump nor Tehran has given final approval to the proposed memorandum, underscoring how quickly unverified military claims can complicate already fragile diplomacy.
