The pilots of a helicopter that crashed around the Strait of Hormuz are “fine,” US President Donald Trump has said.
Trump made the comments to journalists late on Monday after watching the NBA Finals in New York while at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The New York Times first reported that a US Army Apache attack helicopter went down near the strait in unclear circumstances.
The crash came after Iran and Israel exchanged fire on Monday, imperiling talks over solidifying a shaky ceasefire in the Iran war.
