A US military helicopter crashed while flying over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route. US President Donald Trump confirmed that both pilots are safe. The cause of the crash remains unclear. The incident occurred amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran in the region.

Trump informed reporters on Tuesday morning before boarding Air Force One, stating, 'The pilots are fine' and no one was injured. He added, 'We are going to release a report tomorrow. But the pilots are fine, yes.'

The New York Times first reported the incident, citing two people familiar with the event. This crash comes after recent tensions between Iran and Israel, which raised fears of a full-scale war in the Middle East. However, both sides have since de-escalated.
