President Trump says Iran shoots down a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz and says the United States must respond. Trump makes the claim in a Truth Social post, stating that the two crew members aboard the aircraft survive after the helicopter crashes in the aftermath of the attack. Multiple outlets report that the crew members are rescued by an unmanned sea drone, described as a sea drone or unmanned boat. NBC News and BBC News identify the rescue as occurring off the coast of Oman, while the rescue method is described as the first of its kind. The Oregonian adds that Trump says both service members are safe and uninjured. CBS News similarly reports that the rescue is carried out by a sea drone and notes the claim that it is the first rescue using such a system. Across the reports, the central points are Trump’s attribution of responsibility to Iran, the location near the Strait of Hormuz, the downed U.S. helicopter being an Apache, the successful rescue of both crew members, and Trump’s vow that the United States will respond.
