♦️Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced in an interview with Fox News that the reason for the crash of the U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday was an Iranian drone that had become lodged in the body of the military aircraft and in the space between its two crew members.

According to Fox News and based on Trump's phone conversation with Trey Yingst, a reporter for the network on Wednesday, the Apache helicopter was flying at a low altitude when the Iranian drone became trapped inside the fighter helicopter without detonating. According to the report, the pilots guided the helicopter down along with the drone inside it, and it fell into the water.

Following this incident on Monday evening, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it had conducted "legitimate defensive strikes" against targets in Iran; attacks that subsequently led to Iran's retaliatory response and the targeting of U.S. military facilities across the Persian Gulf.
