Donald Trump has accused Iran of being responsible for the downing of a US army Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the United States must take action in response. The helicopter crashed during a patrol early Tuesday morning, prompting a rescue operation that successfully retrieved two crew members, who were unharmed. This incident comes on the heels of escalating violence in the region, including recent exchanges of fire between Iran and Israel, which have further strained a fragile ceasefire. The crash has raised concerns about the impact on global energy prices and military operations in the area. Trump noted that the helicopter incident was the first known drone rescue at sea by the US military, utilizing a 24-foot vessel named Corsair. While expressing his belief in the possibility of a deal with Iran, Trump did not provide specific details on the negotiations. The ongoing conflict has led to significant economic repercussions, making essentials like food more expensive worldwide.
