Initialen reports said Iranian army confirmed it. So far no updates. Usually when it is a dud there is no followup.

Hiding this post for now unless more confirmation comes out.

Guessing Israel wants to use that stealth capability while it can before Trump causes the program to shutter and leaks shit to Russians dChina, who'd eventually share with Iran. Flex the muscle while you can, before the cat is out of the bag (or some other mixed metaphor)
