US President Trump says Iran shot down US helicopter and vows to respond | BBC News
BBC NewsUS President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a US helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond to the attack out of "necessity". Two crew members of the downed Apache helicopter were rescued by an American sea drone, US Central Command (Centcom) said. "There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack." It was not immediately clear what the US response would be, but any military action risks inflaming the shaky ceasefire with Iran once again. There has been no immediate response from Tehran on the US president's comments.
