Watch: How MIG 29K made its maiden landing on INS Vikrant

Iranian state media has released footage claiming to show a missile targeting a U.S. F-16 fighter jet as part of what it described as the “85th wave” of strikes. Iranian authorities say the aircraft was hit before landing in Saudi Arabia. However, the United States Central Command has rejected the claim, stating that the F-16 landed safely following a routine combat mission in the region. The authenticity of the video remains unverified, and independent confirmation of the incident is not available. The development comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with competing narratives from both sides adding to uncertainty around recent military activity.
