Alarm bells rang in the Strait of Hormuz after a U.S. Army helicopter went down off the coast of Oman.
The incident occurred June 8 at about 7:33 p.m. ET and allegedly involved U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the 82nd Airborne Division. At first, it was unclear whether the helicopter, an AH-64 Apache, experienced mechanical problems or if it had been shot down by Iranian forces, but on June 9, President Donald Trump said it was indeed attacked by Iran and vowed to respond "out of necessity."
