Claimed to be an image of a burning C-130 military transport aircraft after it was blown up by US forces in Iran.
Here's an image reportedly of the C-130 before it got blown up.

The different lighting in these two images suggests that they are real.

Sunrise in Iran is at 5:49am, which was just over 2 hours ago. The second image shows the C-130 burning with the sun fully up, which is in largely line with the timing of Al Jazeera's reports on the rescue operation.

The IRGC has now issued a statement claiming that they were the ones who destroyed the U.S. C-130, south of Isfahan, contradicting the New York Time's claim that US forces blew them up to prevent the aircraft from falling into Iranian hands.

Hezbollah claims that they struck an Israeli Navy ship 68 nautical miles off the coast of Lebanon with an anti-ship cruise missile. According to them, the ship is now burning.

This remains unconfirmed, and Israeli media is denying the event.

โš ๏ธ Update: #Iran's internet blackout is now the longest nation-scale internet shutdown on record in any country, exceeding all other comparable incidents in severity having entered its 37th consecutive day after 864 hours.

How does this compare to other countries and regions in digital darkness?

Iran is the first country to have had internet connectivity and then subsequently lost it by reverting to a national network, while others such as North Korea have skipped the connected phase and been internationally isolated for longer.

Intermittent digital shutdown incidents such as Myanmar, and those experiencing restoration after several weeks like Sudan, and sub-national incidents like Kashmir and Tigray have also been recorded over a longer period.

Wartime damage to infrastructure in countries at war like Ukraine and Gaza has also resulted in extended reductions in connectivity due to damaged infrastructure, resulting in an observable reduction in users though no war is known to have sent an entire country offline.

โšก๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Based on the wreckage we can say that at least a HC-130J and an unknown helicopter were blown up by US SOF in Iran.

Four C-130 engines can be seen all in line suggesting they belonged to the same aircraft. The rotor of an helicopter can be seen nearby. Its unclear how many blades it has. Black Hawks have four blades. This one seems to have six although this could be due to the poor shape of the wreck.

In what was likely the most complex search and rescue operation, the US Air Force lost at least three aircrafts, likely four, to save the life of two stranded crew.

This is the second time US forces have blown up their C-130 and helicopter in the middle of Iran during a rescue attempt.

The U.S. lost a total of 4 aircraft during their rescue operation for two F-15E crew members, including 2 C-130 military transport aircraft, 1 A-10 warthog close attack aircraft, and 1 helicopter of an unknown type.

This was very clearly a PR operation so Trump and some other officials could make some victory tweets appealing to the general public by pushing the narrative โ€œnot one soldier left behindโ€, amid the failures to open the strait of Hormuz, failures to stop Iranian military capabilities, and the dawning reality that a ground operation by the U.S. is not possible.
