I think you make a good point about the facts being heavily skewed in the reporting on the attacks in Iran. But this seems very unlikely to me:

> Iran to protect knowledge of its capability

Protect knowledge against who? Israel will know if one of their planes were shot down, US will know. Besides, Iran claims to have shot down f35s, so they clearly want people to think they have that capability.

    Iran claims to have shot down f35s

The photos were so badly photoshopped, I'm honestly confused as to what their intent was.

Propaganda ?

It's like they forgot about photoshop and just went full on AI. Photoshop would've done a much better job (in the right hands).

Definitely propaganda, but they were so laughable I'm not sure who they were fooling.

You had a hilariously large F-35 in one picture, like 5x normal size. In another picture, you had a downed F-35 was blown to pieces yet somehow the afterburners were still lit.

I guess they convinced some of the very lowest-information members of the populace, but damn.

I was merely giving a reason why Iran may not offer evidence of any given success --ie., , in doing so, it would reveal sensitive military information .

I was not making a claim about F35s anyway, I have no specific information nor have I considered any, on relevant claims about F35s
