It says “US official says” that, it doesn’t say it is indeed so (you know, as proven scientifically or by analysis by an independent source).
An individual belonging to a government that supports another government saying something that spins in a positive way the actions of the later government isn’t in even the same universe as the standard of proof for something to be widely accepted as true.
Given the US’ continued support of Israel in this, militarilly and diplomatically, statements of US officials justifying Israeli military choices aren’t at all trustworthy, quite the contrary.
I personally have never flown a fighter in combat, only seen it. But, a nefarious conspiracy theory doesn’t make too much sense.
If you think politicians lying to make what they defend sound good is a “conspiracy theory”, then you’re just the right person to purchase this piece of really cheap river-crossing realestate I have for sale in New York!
I don’t think a DoD official is going to lie for anyone, He’ll just stay silent.
I choose to belive the experienced officials over the dumb lemmy users making baseless accusations against them.
