Trump says "US must respond".

In a statement on Truth Social, Trump said he had been informed “that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the strait of Hormuz.”

While the pilots were uninjured, “the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”

Hmmmmm. Very much depends on what they mean by "shot down".

The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide.
Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

I thought helicopters were supposed to be shooting down drones.

"I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."

Prof. Marandi says Iran didn't hit it:

I was told that the Trump regime's helicopter was not struck by Iranian forces,
but it doesn't make any difference to Iran. We stand ready for battle. We are a
people of martyrdom. We are the people of Imam Hussain.
