Trump blames Iran for Apache crash

President Donald Trump says the United States will “respond” after accusing Iran of shooting down a U.S. Apache helicopter patrolling near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the two pilots were rescued safely and were not injured, but argued that the attack requires a U.S. response. The incident comes as Washington and Tehran remain engaged in talks over a potential nuclear agreement, with Trump claiming just hours earlier that a deal could be reached within days. U.S. Central Command confirmed the helicopter went down near Oman but said the cause remains under investigation. Iran has not officially claimed responsibility.
