Trump Vows U.S. Response After Iran Downs Apache Helicopter

The U.S. president says Iran shot down an American Apache attack helicopter during a patrol over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Both pilots escaped without injury, but Washington has branded the action a serious attack that must not go unanswered. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had been briefed by the military and pledged retaliation. The incident marks a fresh escalation in already strained ties over regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme. Iran has yet to comment on the claims. International observers warn that any confrontation in the narrow waterway, through which a large share of global oil exports pass, could have widespread implications.
