On April 6th local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani stated during a press conference that the U.S. rescue operation of its pilots on the 5th constituted an intrusion into Iranian airspace and raised many doubts. The area where the U.S. pilots were reportedly located is in Kogiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, while the rescue operation was carried out in central Iran, and the two locations are far apart. Kanaani emphasized that the U.S. action might be a "cover operation" aimed at stealing enriched uranium, and this possibility should not be ignored. This operation is a "disastrous scandal" for the United States. (CCTV News)

Local time on April 6, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaii, answering questions at a press conference held that day, said that the action by the United States, which rescued its pilot on local time April 5, constitutes an infringement of Iran’s airspace and raises many questions. The U.S. pilot is allegedly located in an area in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, while the area where the U.S. carried out the rescue operation is in central Iran—far apart from the former. Baghaii emphasized that the U.S. operation could be a “cover operation” intended to steal enriched uranium; this possibility should not be ignored. For the United States, this operation would be a “catastrophic scandal.” (CCTV News)
