US gunship down in Strait of Hormuz as Trump talks up Iran deal
The cause of the crash is currently unclear, with possibilities including mechanical failure or being shot down, though no official suggestion of a deliberate attack has been made (AP)
The two pilots aboard the gunship were rescued and are reported to be “fine” after the aircraft went down in the Iran-controlled waterway.
The cause of the crash is currently unclear, with possibilities including mechanical failure or being shot down, though no official suggestion of a deliberate attack has been made.
The incident occurred hours after Iran and Israel reportedly halted attacks on each other following an appeal from Trump, despite recent hostilities.
Donald Trump stated that the US has a “very good chance” of signing a peace deal with Iran “in two or three days,” even as the helicopter crash’s implications are being assessed.
