Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said reports point to mounting pressure on the US military, a claim that could not be independently verified.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the era in which United States F-35 and F-15 fighter jets are being "hunted down" has already begun, according to a report by Iran's state-run IRNA news agency.
Ghalibaf said reports point to mounting pressure and damage on the US military, describing the situation as occurring "some seven months into Washington's war on Iran," IRNA reported.
The remarks were attributed to Ghalibaf without additional detail on the specific incidents, evidence or sources underpinning the claim, according to the IRNA report.
IRNA is Iran's official state news agency. The claims made by Ghalibaf could not be independently verified, and no response from US officials was included in the report.
