Pentagon tightens its purse as F-35 fighter jet takes fire on several fronts in Israel-Iran conflict

Israel-Iran War: Iran says it has shot down a third Israeli F-35 fighter jet over Tabriz and captured the pilot, as the war with Israel intensifies. While the Israeli military denies the claims, Iran has now alleged three stealth jets were taken out. The development comes amid mounting pressure on the F-35 programme itself, with the Pentagon slashing next years orders. The U.S. Air Force plans to buy just 24 jets, half of what was earlier expected.
