President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the U.S. will “respond” as he accused Iran of shooting down an Apache helicopter that was patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.
The two pilots involved in the attack “are safe and injured,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
U.S. Central Command earlier Tuesday revealed that the American AH-64 Apache had gone down “near the coast of Oman” on Monday evening ET.
Centcom did not initially blame Iran for the downing, saying in a statement that the incident is under investigation.
The two soldiers involved in the crash were rescued within about two hours by U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, Centcom’s post said.
