A bus crash on Friday morning near the Pentagon injured 23 people, including 10 personnel from the Department of War, according to a statement from the Pentagon Force Protection Agencyâs Corporate Communications Office.
First responders transported 18 individuals to local hospitals for further medical evaluation and treatment.
Five passengers were treated on site and released on the own recognizance,â the statement obtained by Fox News said.
Meanwhile, Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy made headlines earlier this week when he asked President Donald Trump if he was surprised that he was reportedly not briefed ahead of time about Iran retaliating against the Gulf states.
You said they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait
You said they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Nobody expected that.
We were shocked. Are you surprised that nobody briefed you ahead of time that that might be their retaliation? â Doocy asked the president in the Oval Office.
They were, I wouldnât say friendly countries
They were, I wouldnât say friendly countries
No, the greatest experts â nobody thought they were going to hit. They were, I wouldnât say friendly countries.
They were â they lived with them for years
They were â they lived with them for years. Peter, they were going to take over the Middle East.
They were going to knock out Israel with their nuclear weapons,â Trump began.
These are sick people
These are sick people
While they developed nuclear, somehow they were going to start at a different site because that site was, you saw the site, the mountain, they were going to go into a certain area, which we know exactly where it is, and they were going to do that,â Trump continued.
âYou know, if I didnât terminate Barack Hussein Obamaâs Iran nuclear deal, you would right now â well, Israel would be gone. It would be incinerated, and probably the Middle East likewise. And remember, they have all of those missiles and I heard they were sending missiles to UAE.
You know, UAE is like the banker for Iran
Theyâre, like, the banker. Qatar, their neighbors, they got along OK.
Saudi Arabia â all of a sudden, Kuwait, Kuwait is getting hit. Bahrain is getting hit. All these countries are getting hit,â Trump added.
And if we did know, big deal
And if we did know, big deal
I mean, we have to do what we have to do. But we hit them so hard, like nobodyâs ever been hit.
We hit them very hard
And weâve extinguished most of their missiles. Weâve extinguished most of their drones.
Weâve extinguished most of the places where the missiles and the drones are built. Weâve fully extinguished two layers of leadership, and probably a third, if you believe some stories,â the president argued.
You wouldnât want one for your family
You wouldnât want one for your family
You wouldnât want one for your family.
Theyâre not pretty. Their sole function is to lift a mine into the water and drop it a certain number of feet down. But they had 22 of them.
Weâve taken out all of them. But you can probably â you can probably drop them off on the bus. So we donât even know.
By the way, we donât know that any mines have even been dropped
But the thought that they would scares people that have billion-dollar ships,â Trump concluded.
