Summary
Two U.S. Army crew members were rescued uninjured after an Apache helicopter went down near the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump saying a fuller administration report would come later Tuesday.
The cause remains unclear, and investigators are examining whether the aircraft was hit by Iranian fire, suffered a mechanical failure or encountered another problem.
The New York Times first reported the crash late Monday, citing two people briefed on the incident.
The episode adds uncertainty around a sensitive waterway where any sign of hostile action could quickly sharpen U.S.-Iran tensions.
