The kill vehicle from a U.S. THAAD missile interceptor was recovered in southern Syria (Suwayda) after a recent interception.
This component is the non-explosive part that destroys targets by direct high-speed impact (โhit-to-killโ).
It likely fell back to Syria intact after completing or failing its mission, which is possible since THAAD carries no warhead.

The U.S. carried out a B-2 bomber strike on an underground IRGC HQ in Tehran, dropping bunker-buster bombs during the rescue window.
Ordered by CENTCOM commander Adm. Brad Cooper, multiple B-2s flew a 36-hour round trip from Whiteman Air Force Base, dropping massive bunker-buster bombs (the same type used against Iranian nuclear sites).
The strike targeted a location where senior IRGC commanders were gathered, with U.S. officials saying the facility was destroyed and many commanders are presumed killed.

After a U.S. F-15E was shot down over Iran, both crew members were eventually rescued, but the operation became controversial due to a leak during the mission.
Trump said the U.S. had only publicly confirmed rescuing one crew member, while keeping quiet about the second, who was wounded and hiding in mountainous terrain.
According to Trump, a media report revealed that โthereโs somebody missing,โ which he claims alerted Iran that another American airman was still on the ground.
Trump argued this compromised operational security, saying it made the rescue โmuch more difficultโ and put both the missing airman and rescue forces at risk.
He emphasized that once the information became public, Iranian forcesโand even civiliansโwere aware and searching, especially after Iran reportedly offered a reward for capturing the pilot.
The first public hint came from Israeli journalist Amit Segal, who bragged & posted:
โWestern source: One of the American crew members was successfully rescued.โ
This implied another crew member was still missing.
Segal later said he was not sure he was first, but made clear he would not reveal his source.
Trump responded by launching an investigation into the leak, calling the leaker a โsick personโ and warning the media outlet involved to disclose the source or face consequences: โgive it up or go to jail.โ

The UK will refuse U.S. requests to use British bases for strikes on Iranian bridges or power plants.
UK officials argue these targets are civilian infrastructure and could make such attacks a potential war crime, so permission will not be granted.
