The US striking back, launching what

CENTCOM calls self-defense strikes in a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.

After President Trump said the Iranian regime shot down a US Army Apache helicopter in the middle of a ceasefire.

Posting there were two pilots involved, both are safe and uninjured.

Nevertheless, the United States must of necessity respond to this attack.

The two-seater helicopter was flying near the coast of Oman in the middle of the night patrolling to prevent Iranian attacks on commercial ships.

When a US official tells NBC News the Apache was hit by an Iranian drone crashing into the Strait of Hormuz.

The crew survived the impact floating alone in the dark waters until that remarkable rescue, the first of its kind by an unmanned US Navy military boat like this one.

A US official saying both soldiers are receiving medical attention but their injuries are not life-threatening.

President Trump previously saying he would restart the war against Iran if a US soldier was killed.

>> If they kill US troops, I think I would do that very quickly.

>> And now we're learning more about other Iranian regime attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has been aggressively launching attack drones towards traffic including the US military and commercial ships in the Strait for days.

The US military shooting most of them down.

All as President Trump again overnight touted progress in talks with Iran.

>> The Strait will open up right away.

It'll open up immediately upon signing which could be in two or three days.
