“The era when your F-35s and F-15s get hunted down and you have to report them damaged has already begun,” Ghalibaf said in a post on X on Thursday.
“What was once pure nightmare fuel is now the daily reality. Live with it,” he added.
Ghalibaf’s remarks came after General Dan Caine, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged that American military formations face a new battlefield environment.
