Trump: US Plane Crash Will Not Affect Talks with Iran

BlockBeats News, April 4th, according to NBC News, in a brief phone interview, U.S. President Trump said that the U.S. fighter jet crash would not impact negotiations with Iran. Trump refused to discuss specifics of the ongoing search and rescue operation following the jet's crash in Iran, but expressed dissatisfaction with some reports about the military action, as it was evidently a tense and sensitive military operation.

When asked if today's events would affect negotiations with Iran, Trump said it would not be affected. He said, "No, not at all. No, this is war, and we are in combat."

Earlier, the Iranian military's public relations department reported on the 3rd that near the southern waters of the Strait of Hormuz that day, Iran's national integrated air defense network successfully shot down a U.S. A-10 attack aircraft through tracking and monitoring. The Iranian side claimed that the aircraft belonged to "aggressive enemy forces." U.S. officials confirmed earlier in the day that an A-10 "Warthog" attack aircraft had crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, and the pilot had been rescued. (Golden Finance)
