Iran's state-run Press TV has circulated footage on social media, showing wreckage purportedly from U.S. and Israeli warplanes downed by Iranian forces in recent months. According to a report from U.S. news network CNN on Saturday, the released wreckage includes remains from a U.S. F-15 fighter jet and several drones that Iran claims were shot down by its air defense systems.

CNN indicated that some of the wreckage may correspond to an April incident in which a U.S. military aircraft was downed over Iran's Isfahan Province. On April 3, an American warplane was hit in the skies above the same province, though both pilots managed to eject and survive.

U.S. authorities have not yet commented on the footage.

In 10 days, Canada will face sweeping U.S. tariffs of up to 50 percent on key imports, a move announced by President Donald Trump on July 20 under Section 338 of the U.S. Tariff Act.

The new policy targets most Canadian imports, including wines and auto parts, worth around 20 billion dollars. There will be no exceptions for goods covered by an existing trade pact, the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Analysts warn the tariffs will intensify cost pressures already squeezing households. For some, the strain has become personal. One Canadian truck driver described how rising prices forced him to move into his vehicle to cut debt.

"The prices of everything are sky high for no reason. It's the same product but everything has doubled or tripled in price. I had to move out of my apartment after seven years. I just moved out five days ago so I can get my debt level down. I am living in my truck now," said a Canadian driver.

Companies across Canada also report mounting pressure. Tess Patterson, a wine club manager, said businesses are struggling to shield customers from higher costs.

"We really don't want to pass that cost to our consumers. However, you know, as time goes by, that does slowly increase. So, therefore, it makes very hard for our consumers to basically purchase and get their hands on and that's not what we want to see," said Patterson.
