The U.S. military started what it called "self-defense strikes" against Iran for the downing of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said the two crew members were both "safe and uninjured" after the Apache helicopter went down while on patrol off the coast of Oman. Geoff Bennett discussed the latest with Dan Lamothe of The Washington Post.

It’s unclear if the Apache helicopter was shot down by the Iranian military or went down as a result of a technical failure.

President Donald Trump said the attack helicopter was downed by Iran and the aircraft’s pilots were rescued and uninjured.

But Iranian officials reportedly claim that the downing was not deliberate.
