New American attack on the USA
A new escalation is being recorded in US-Iran relations, after Donald Trump approved American attacks against Iranian targets hours after he had tried to minimize the downing of an American Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz.
US President Donald Trump said Iran has shot down one of the most sophisticated US helicopters while it was patrolling the Strait of Hormuz.
According to him, the incident occurred during a regular security mission in the region. The US is assessing the damage and possible response.
The US Apache helicopter that crashed in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday was hit by an Iranian Shahed drone, according to a New York Times report citing a US official, confirming information previously reported by the website Axios.
Several hours after the crash, a US Navy drone found and rescued the two pilots near the coast of Oman, according to CENTCOM.
The US command said the two crew members were ejected about two hours after the helicopter was hit.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister told Al Jazeera that there was no deliberate targeting of a US helicopter by Iran.
Israeli forces killed nine people in the city of Tyre after issuing forced displacement orders, as deadly attacks continue in southern Lebanon.
