Two U.S. Navy E/A‑18G Growler jets have collided in mid‑air and crashed in Idaho, in a dramatic incident caught on camera just miles from Mountain Home Air Force Base. The crash comes with an uncomfortable backdrop: the U.S. Navy has already warned it cannot sustain current operations linked to the Iran conflict for much longer without more money and manpower. Just a day before the crash, Donald Trump held a high‑level security meeting on the “path forward” with Tehran, later warning that “the clock is ticking” for Iran to accept a deal while refusing to set a clear deadline. Washington says it is now waiting for a new plan from Tehran after tabling its own counter‑proposal, even as questions grow over U.S. military readiness for any renewed escalation.
