Amaq, a news agency that supports the terrorist organisation claimed ISIS shot down a plane flying near Ain Al-Asad air base in Anbar. Howerver the United States has denied Islamic State's claims that it shot down a US warplane in Iraq.
The agency also claimed both the pilot and crew were killed in the attack near the air base which is used by both Iraqi and US armed forces.
But the Pentagon denied any aircraft being shot down or reported missing.
A spokesman for the Pentagon, using the US acronym ISIL for the terror group, said: “There is no truth to reports of ISIL downing a US aircraft near Anbar.
“All US and coalition aircraft are accounted for at this time.”
ISIS sleeper cells are believed to be based in the area.
The US has been leading coalition air strikes on ISIS in Iraq and Syria and has reclaimed areas including Mosul in Iraq, and Manbij in Syria from the jihadis.
The coalition has conducted 73 strikes inside Iraq over the last seven days in support of Iraqi security forces.
In a press conference earlier today, Army Colonel Christopher Garver said: "The Iraqi Security Forces continues offensive operations in and around the area.”
Efforts are being made to retake large swathes of territory back from ISIS in the Euphrates River Valley.
The claim by ISIS came just hours after the terror group claimed responsibility for an attack in Ansbach, Germany.
