Trump confirms Iran shot down US helicopter, vows retaliation

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.”

A US uncrewed drone boat rescued two crew members of the helicopter. The incident marked the first loss of an Apache since the conflict with Iran began.
