Trump says Iran shot down US helicopter over Hormuz, vows to respond
US president says although the pilots were rescued, Washington ‘must, of necessity, respond to this attack’.
The two crew members were rescued by a sea drone in the first such operation ever carried out by the U.S. military, officials told CBS News.
The drone that picked up the downed helicopter crew was a Corsair made by Texas-based Saronic Technologies.
It remains unclear if the helicopter fell victim to a mechanical failure or if it was shot down by Iranian forces.
The incident marks another US aircraft loss in the conflict and raises fresh concerns over the stability of the Iran ceasefire.
