U.S. Military Helicopter Crashes Near Strait of Hormuz; Two Crew Members Rescued

A U.S. Army Apache helicopter crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, and the two crew members on board were rescued safely, The New York Times (NYT) reported on June 8 (local time).

Anonymous sources stated that it is not yet clear whether the cause of the crash was an attack by Iran or a mechanical failure.

Regarding the incident, the NYT explained that it "occurred after hostilities between Israel and Iran, such as the exchange of military strikes, had subsided," describing it as a recent example that highlights the fragility of the truce.

In April, the U.S. military successfully rescued two crew members after an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet was shot down over an inland area in southwestern Iran.
