President Trump vowed to respond after a US Army helicopter was downed last night, confirming that the Iranians executed the attack.
President Trump initially told reporters while departing Queens, New York, after attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals, “The pilots are fine.”
“Nobody injured. We are going to issue a report tomorrow, but the pilots are fine,” he added.

President Trump says “pilots are fine” after Apache Helicopter downed near the coast of Oman
Trump on Tuesday revealed that the Apache helicopter was “shot down” by Iranians and that the US “must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Axios’s Barak Ravid reports that according to a US official the helicopter was hit by an Iranian drone, and an ongoing investigation still has not determined whether or not it was intentional.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the incident this morning.
US Central Command said in a statement early this morning, “The Soldiers were safely rescued within approximately two hours and are in stable condition,” noting that the cause of the incident was still under investigation.
The Army crew was “lost at sea” after going down while “patrolling regional waters,” the command said.

Third.
so it’s tit-for-tat now?
yeah, that’ll work.
any response needs to be massive, or don’t bother...
ENOUGH TALK..BOMB THE HOLY CRAP OUT OF THEM..NOW
At least it was only a 2 hour tour, not 3
What the heck does that last line mean? What “army crew” was lost at sea? The pilot and co-pilot were rescued by an unmanned boat.
Meaning they had to find them............
We’ll retaliate ... in two weeks.
I thought they were wiped out and on their knees...
A helicopter can be brought down with a grenade launcher or small arms fire...............
It better be happening immediately..............
Drone battery. Can be set up anywhere quick and cheap. The military can be in ruins yet these can be set up easily.
So the deal that was supposed to happen in 2-3 days?
C'mon Mr. President. Those crazy bastards just stuck their thumb in your eye and America's!
What'cha gonna do about it?!?!?
Oil prices don’t believe Trump will do anything.
So how’s that ceasefire and “home run” deal working out?
A ghost ship? The Flying Dutchman? The SS Minnow?
Trump continues to set cease-fire periods with an enemy who won’t stop. Trump needs to finish this and stop pussy-footing.
Gas prices are a good indication.
We’ve heard a lot of big talk about what we might do if such and such happened. Now it has happened and I read that he is trying to decide if it was an intentional shoot down? Well duh!!! Trump is big on talk, now let’s see what happens.
