The hard landing caused minor damage to the aircraft, and one runway was temporarily affected, the Aurora Police Department said.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that "someone from within" the Iranian regime might be the best choice to take power once the U.S.-Israel military campaign is completed — but said "most of the people we had in mind are dead."

No injuries were reported, and three individuals were taken into custody in connection with the incident but later released pending further investigation, police said.
