Trump Says Iran Downed Apache Helicopter, US Must React
REUTERS—President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Iran had shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz and vowed to respond, deepening doubts about prospects for peace between the two countries.
Trump said the two U.S. pilots involved in the incident were uninjured.
“Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” he said on social media.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi did not directly address the incident but said foreign forces in the region risked being involved in accidents or crossfire.
“To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave,” he said on social media.
The episode adds further strain to efforts to broker a peace deal to end the wider Middle East war and reopen Hormuz, a vital conduit for petroleum and other commodities. Trump has repeatedly said Iran and the United States are close to an agreement, though there have been few signs of progress since a tenuous ceasefire took effect in early April.
