EXCERPT:
There were reports all over X on Monday night about a U.S. helicopter possibly going down in the Red Sea after squawking an emergency signal and dropping.
Then there were claims that the helicopter had been shot down.
But now U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has scotched that story, calling out Iranian media for spreading the lie.
🚫 CLAIM: Iranian state media has been pushing false reports that a U.S. Navy MH-60R helicopter crashed in the Red Sea after declaring an emergency last night. ✅ FACT: Reports of a downed U.S. Navy helicopter in the Red Sea are not true. All U.S. military aircraft and personnel across the Middle East are safe and accounted for.
