President Donald Trump provided an update on the ongoing conflict with Iran while speaking with reporters Monday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
The president said negotiations with Iran remain active despite continued tensions in the region and suggested there could be greater clarity on the situation within the next several days.
Trump also said the U.S. naval blockade remains fully in place, arguing that it continues to restrict Iranian oil exports and other sources of revenue.
His comments came as the United States and its allies continue efforts to solidify a fragile ceasefire following recent exchanges of fire involving Iran and Israel.
During the exchange with reporters, Trump was also asked about reports that a U.S. Army helicopter had crashed near the Strait of Hormuz. The president said the pilots involved in the incident were not injured and indicated that additional details would be released in an official report.
The crash remains under investigation, and officials have not yet provided information about what may have caused the helicopter to go down.
Trump's remarks highlighted both the ongoing diplomatic efforts with Iran and the continued military presence in one of the world's most strategically important waterways.
