Does this have any credible source reporting on it, just curious since this image is not a recent image.
Reports of Iranian media on it now

Not sure that's a credible source. Didn't Iranian media claim they destroyed dozens of F-35s in missile strikes of Israeli airfields last October and then it turned out to be completely fake?
I mean sources of this war is israel and iran. There is no completely credible way to verify anything
I checked with the Nazi AI and Iran did not make this claim.
A few Twitter users made this claim, but it cannot find Tasnim state media or the Iranian army making this claim of destroying grounded Israeli F35's in 2024.
It even states that this misinformation about 20 destroyed jets originated from Israeli sources which is interesting. Not sure if true but at least not from Tasnim.
This is not snark, it's genuine concern: are you doing research by asking AI bots questions? If so, for the love of God please stop, you're ruining your brain. This information is freely available from any search engine if you use the date feature. I used Kagi to find these in like, 5 minutes:

Yes. Google and other DDG are awful at finding any article and quote from the past when it comes to Israel except if it says 'Israel has the right to defend itself am yisrael chai Hamas terrorists'. AI does not always get it correct but it makes far fewer mistakes and will actually show me articles not from NYT or Reuters, which Google frequently literally refuses to do even when verbatim typing a sentence from that site.
According to the same AI Tehrantimes is not Iranian state media, whereas Tasnim is. A quick search confirms this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran_Times
Furthermore Forbes quotes Tehrantimes. Tehramtimes attributes the claim to an IRGC general Ebrahim Jabbari . Hovewer reading the Tehrantimes article, it only claims what title says this in the summary which weird. Now here is what is likely the full quote which I found by searching on Ebrahim Jabbari 20:
Iranwire:
So after using a search engine myself I conclude that the Nazi AI was correct and that Tehrantimes misquoted the Iranian army general which made a vague bombastic quote instead of using concrete numbers.
The current article says 2 and is a direct claim by the Iranian military. It might still be fake but at least it not a "possibly 2".
But they are the official Iranian state media no?
