US President Donald Trump said the US military informed him that Iran shot down an Army Apache helicopter that went down off the coast of Oman, adding that the US “must, of necessity, respond to this attack”, APA reports citing CNN.
“I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” he said in a post on Truth Social Tuesday.
