President Donald Trump's national security team gathered at the White House Friday evening following reports that multiple US aircraft were struck by Iranian fire. A senior White House official confirmed the emergency meeting took place.
The condition of the aircraft and any crew members involved remains unclear. Details about when and where the incident happened are still emerging.
The meeting comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to rise. Earlier reports mentioned Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on February 28, with joint US-Israeli strikes.
The two countries have also been discussing the importance of keeping the Strait of Hormuz open for ships to pass through. This narrow waterway is crucial for oil shipments from the Middle East to the rest of the world.
Any military clash between the US and Iran could lead to a larger conflict in the Middle East. This would affect gas prices and could put American troops at risk.
Watch for more details about the aircraft incident and any US response to the reported Iranian fire.
