The IRGC Aerospace Force shot down a US military surveillance balloon over Erbil in northern Iraq.

Iranian Army’s Air Defense says its forces successfully targeted more than 370 enemy aircraft since the start of the US-Israeli aggression on February 28 by relying on domestic defense systems.

In response to the latest US aggression, Iranian armed forces executed coordinated missile and drone strikes against American military installations spanning Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, and the UAE, inflicting heavy casualties and widespread infrastructure damage.

The Iranian Army says it has targeted US military helicopters and personnel stationed at al-Minhad Air Base in the UAE with dozens of kamikaze drones in reprisal for a fatal US strike on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

From AI-powered missile guidance and satellite image processing to coordinated drone swarms and integrated air-defense systems, Iran is rapidly embedding artificial intelligence across its aerospace sector for both military and civilian applications

The US military's hasty withdrawal from Erbil, officially framed as a scheduled redeployment, was actually driven by Iranian precision strikes that destroyed Patriot air-defense systems there – as confirmed by satellite imagery – exposing the vulnerability of advanced US defenses to low-cost drones and forcing a strategic retreat that marks a victory for Iranian deterrence.

On July 22, IRGC carried out precision strikes on King Faisal air base in Jordan, destroying eight MQ-9 drones, two helicopters, and F-15 support facilities, killing a number of US military personnel and exposing vulnerabilities in the American regional military infrastructure.
