US President Donald Trump claimed that Iranian forces shot down a US Apache helicopter during a patrol over the Strait of Hormuz. He said both pilots were rescued by a US naval drone vessel and were safe and uninjured. Trump called the incident an attack that required a response from the United States. The US military said the cause of the crash is still under investigation. The incident comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran despite recent efforts to maintain a fragile truce. Iranian officials have also warned Washington against violating agreements and said they are prepared to respond if needed.
