A US Army Apache helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz this Monday (8). The two crew members were rescued safely. The information was initially released by The New York Times.

Before returning to the White House after attending one of the NBA finals games in New York, President Donald Trump told journalists that the crew members are fine and that the country will issue a report on what happened this Tuesday (9). Trump also said that the peace deal is in the "final phase," which could take "two or three days."
"We are in the final phase of what will be a very, very good deal," the president said.

The information was revealed on Monday (8) by the North American website Axios.
"I said: 'Bibi, you better be careful, or very soon you will be on your own'", reported Axios, attributing the speech to Trump in a telephone conversation with Netanyahu.
