US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday dismissed Iranian claims that a US F-18 fighter jet had been shot down.
"This information is false," CENTCOM told Anadolu.
The denial came after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had struck a US F-18 aircraft.
Iranian state media also aired footage purportedly showing the moment the jet was hit by air defense systems and crashed into the Indian Ocean.
