Donald Trump said the Iran-US conflict is “moving very rapidly.”
His statement came as reports emerged about a US military aircraft crash during operations in the Middle East.
A US military refuelling aircraft crashed in western Iraq, triggering an urgent rescue response from US forces in the region.
The aircraft involved was a KC‑135 Stratotanker, a tanker plane used by the US Air Force to refuel fighter jets and bombers mid-air during long missions.
US officials said about five crew members were believed to be on board when the aircraft went down.
US Central Command said two aircraft were involved in the incident.
One tanker crashed in western Iraq, while the second aircraft managed to land safely.
US military teams launched a search and rescue mission to locate the aircraft and determine the condition of the crew.
Early information suggests the crash may not have been caused by hostile or friendly fire, but investigations are still ongoing.
An Iran-aligned militia group claimed it shot down the aircraft, though the claim has not been confirmed by US officials.
The incident adds to rising tensions between the United States and Iran, with the conflict drawing global attention as the situation develops.
