President Donald Trump said the US must respond after he blamed Iran for shooting down an American military helicopter off Oman, posing a new threat to the peace deal he’s said for weeks is close.

“I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump posted Tuesday on social media. “There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured.

Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
There was no immediate indication of what action the US is planning. Iran’s foreign minister posted on social media later that “foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk,” adding that the “best solution is for them to leave.”
