President Donald Trump has accused Iran of shooting down a United States military helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz, saying that he will respond to the attack.
“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 wrote in a social media post on Tuesday.
“There were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.”
Was it their navy? No wait, he said something about that, ships - bottom of ocean. What about the air force? No, something something “utterly annihilated”.
Hmm, maybe someone is lying about something.
How could Biden have done this?!
It may be that the helicopter was simply Liberti’ed.
Trump’s immediate repsonse was to call Netanyahu while downplaying the incident so this isn’t even something improbable lol.
