The US military says it has begun strikes against Iran following the crash of a US Army Apache helcopter off the coast of Oman that President Donald Trump blames on the Islamic Republic.

The helicopter went down after colliding with an Iranian drone.

It wasn't clear whether the collision was intentional, and official statements say that the crash is under investigation.

A drone boat rescued the two Army aviators who were aboard that helicopter.

Trump said in a social media post that both service members are safe and uninjured.
