US Army Apache Helicopter Down Near Hormuz, Both Crew Rescued, Cause Unknown
β HORMUZ β Iran may have just downed a US military helicopter. π LOOK CLOSER: An AH-64E is a gunship β it was in IRGC strike range as a combat asset. If Iran downed it, this is no longer US defensive support: it's a destroyed US aircraft. Crew rescued removes the casualty trigger, but asset loss forces a formal response. Trump's warning to Israel against further strikes now collides directly with Iranian fire on US forces.
