Trump says Iran shot down Apache helicopter and U.S. must respond
President Trump said Iranians shot down an Apache helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. The two pilots were uninjured but the U.S. "must, of necessity, respond," the president said on social media.
Mr. Trump said earlier that efforts to reach a deal with Iran were in their "final throes," with a deal possible in "two or three days." It is unclear where negotiations stand following the helicopter incident.
