Trump Says US Not Involved in Alleged 'Accident' at Launch Site in Iran

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 31st August, 2019) President Donald Trump on Friday said the United States was not involved with an accident that he claimed took place at a launch site in Iran.

On Thursday, US media outlet NPR, citing imagery, claimed that an Iranian rocket appeared to have exploded on a launch pad.

Trump said he wished Iran good luck in determining what happened.
