Several passengers on an Iranian airline have been injured over Syria after the pilot changed altitude to avoid collision with a US fighter jet, according to Iranian media, but the United States military said its F-15 kept a safe distance.
The airline Mahan Air is on a US sanctions list for supporting Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon.
