Trump says Iran lodged a bomb onto US Army helicopter downed near Strait of Hormuz

President Trump says a bomb was discovered in a U.S. military helicopter downed near the Strait of Hormuz, and says the pilots are lucky it didn’t detonate. The incident, which happened despite a ceasefire, has escalated tensions in the region. Trump has blamed Iran for shooting down the Apache helicopter and ordered retaliatory strikes Tuesday night. The two pilots were rescued with help from a drone boat, marking the first known use of the technology in a personnel recovery mission at sea. ------------------------------------- Follow Scripps News on other platforms— Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on X: https://x.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scrippsnews/ Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@scrippsnews
