U.S. President Donald Trump later echoed Hajizadeh’s statement regarding the P-8:

Kemarin ada pesawat yang membawa 38 orang, kamu lihat itu? Saya pikir itu adalah cerita besar. Mereka sudah mengincarnya dan tidak menembak jatuhnya. Saya pikir mereka sangat bijaksana untuk tidak melakukan hal itu. Dan kami menghargai bahwa mereka tidak melakukan hal itu. Saya pikir itu adalah keputusan yang sangat bijaksana.
