U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the American military informed him that Iran shot down an Army Apache helicopter that crashed off the coast of Oman, adding that the U.S. "must necessarily respond to this attack," UNN reports, citing CNN.
I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our high-tech Apache helicopters while on patrol over the Strait of Hormuz. Two pilots were involved, both are alive and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must inevitably respond to this attack
The publication notes that a U.S. unmanned boat rescued the two helicopter crew members. This incident marks the first loss of an Apache helicopter since the beginning of the conflict with Iran.
