RIYADH: Iran will share images of captured Israeli F-35 pilots “soon,” the Tehran Times reported on Tuesday.

Authorities in Iran said on Friday that two Israeli fighter jet pilots were in custody, one of them a woman. Israel has yet to confirm whether any of its pilots were missing following the initial surprise attack on Iranian targets on Friday morning.

Missile and drone attacks by both countries against each other have continued every day since then, prompting growing fears that the fighting could spiral out of control and spark a major regional conflict.

Also on Tuesday, Iranian media reported that a “terrorist team” linked to Israel and armed with explosives had been arrested in a town southwest of Tehran.
