U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that U.S. forces were carrying out powerful strikes against Iran in response to the downing of an American helicopter.
In remarks to ABC News, Trump said the response to Iran was "very important," adding that U.S. forces were already conducting military operations in retaliation for the downing of a U.S. helicopter.
"They shot down a helicopter, and we're hitting them right now," Trump said.
"This is a response to what they did to our helicopter last night. I believe the response must be very strong and highly decisive, and that is what is being carried out now," he added.
