“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
This is first loss of an Apache since the conflict with Iran began.
US Central Command (Centcom) earlier said the two “soldiers were safely rescued within approximately two hours and are in stable condition” after their AH-64 Apache helicopter went down “near the coast of Oman while patrolling regional waters”.
