Araqchi US Congress admitted losing dozens jets billions dollars

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated that the US Congress admitted months after the start of the war the loss of dozens of warplanes valued at billions of dollars.

Araqchi said in press statements: "Our armed forces shot down an American F-35 aircraft that they had long boasted about," stressing that this aircraft represented a symbol of US air power and advanced military technology.

The Iranian Foreign Minister added: "With the lessons we learned and the knowledge we acquired, the return to war will witness many surprises," in a clear indication that Iran has become more prepared and capable of confronting any future aggression.

This statement comes at a time when tensions are escalating and threats are being exchanged between Tehran and Washington, amid speculations about the possibility of renewed military operations in the region if a diplomatic breakthrough leading to a deal that ends the war is not achieved.
