- A U.S. Apache helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz , an incident confirmed by Donald Trump on Tuesday.
- 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.
