Revealed on TV: How Iranian pilots flew '60-yr-old jets at 50 feet altitude to bomb US' Kuwait base'

Did Iran really pull off a mission that embarrassed the world's most powerful military? As the United States and Iran move towards a historic peace agreement, Tehran has unveiled a dramatic wartime account that is now raising fresh questions about the conflict's hidden chapters. In a rare televised interview, Iranian Air Force personnel claimed that during the peak of the U.S.-Israel offensive in March, a team of pilots flew decades-old F-5 fighter jets on a daring mission targeting the American Camp Buehring base in Kuwait. According to Iran's account, the aircraft flew below 50 feet, maintained complete radio silence, evaded Patriot missile systems, AWACS surveillance aircraft, and fighter jets, and completed the entire operation within 50 minutes. Iran has presented the strike as proof of its military ingenuity and its ability to challenge a technologically superior adversary using unconventional tactics. The pilots even claimed they flew so low that they passed beneath power lines and between vessels before carrying out a heavy bombing run. However, the United States has not publicly acknowledged Iran's version of events or confirmed claims that its air defence network was breached. This has turned the episode into a larger battle over perception and propaganda: did Iran truly expose vulnerabilities in America's sophisticated military shield, or is this another attempt to shape the narrative after a costly regional war?
