An officer in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has given a new statement reiterating that divine intervention was responsible for damaging a US F-35 fighter jet. In a video, the officer states, 'God made this happen, God did it, and we just pressed a button, and God showed us the result,' framing the military action as God's work. This echoes a previous interview where an Iranian gunner claimed to be the first to have hit an F-35, though the aircraft reportedly returned to base. The repeated rhetoric underscores the religious framing Iran applies to its military engagements with the United States.
