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.

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

The Gateway Pundit reported on the incident.

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.
