⭕️ The U.S. Apache helicopter that went down over the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was participating in the Trump administration’s previously undisclosed mission to protect commercial shipping through the waterway, a senior U.S. official told The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal reported that the covert operation, which President Trump publicly acknowledged on Wednesday, has relied heavily on U.S. fighter jets and helicopters escorting oil tankers and other merchant vessels through the strait.
The official said the Apache was defending ships from Iranian drones and missiles when it went down. The two pilots escaped the burning aircraft by ejecting the damaged canopy and climbing out moments before it sank.

Two American sources reportedly claim that President Trump is considering a large-scale but short-term operation which is aimed at pressuring Iran in negotiations.
