An American Apache gunship helicopter crashed and was destroyed near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
According to reports, both crew members were safely rescued, while investigations are underway to determine whether the crash was caused by hostile fire or a technical malfunction.
A US newspaper report said the incident took place near the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered a highly important maritime passage for global oil transportation. After the incident, rescue teams immediately took action and moved the crew of the helicopter to a safe location.
It is still unclear whether the Apache gunship helicopter was destroyed due to Iranian fire, or whether it was the result of a technical fault, mechanical issue, or accidental circumstances. US authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the incident.
Defense sources say that different aspects of the crash are being examined, and the exact cause will only be known after the investigation is completed.
