'Had a little MISHAP…': Trump STUNS with claim about 'friendly fire' on US jets during Iran war
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday downplayed the loss of three American fighter jets in a friendly fire incident during the ongoing Iran war, insinuating that it was no big deal because all pilots survived. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump brushed aside the downing of the $90 million F-15 aircraft in the early days of Operation Epic Fury as "a little bit of a mishap". The US military had acknowledged the jets were mistakenly shot down by allied Kuwaiti air defences.
