- TRUMP SAYS IRAN WILL ‘PAY THE PRICE’: President Donald Trump said this morning that Iran had “taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!” Iran said earlier it would “need to assess the situation” in the wake of the latest military exchange between the two countries.
- U.S. ATTACKS IRAN: Trump’s warning comes after the United States launched new attacks against Iran after the president said Tehran “shot down” an American military helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. official said an Iranian drone collided with the Apache, causing it to crash.
- IRAN RESPONDS: Tehran hit back with strikes on U.S. targets across the Middle East, including Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran’s top diplomat said foreign forces near its territory “are at constant risk” but did not mention any role in downing the helicopter.
