President Trump vows retaliation after Iran shoots down a U.S.

helicopter.

I'm Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley with Georgia HAL.

It's Wednesday, June 10th.

This is Morning Wire.

And new legislation seeks to stop China's attempt to infiltrate the U.S.

car market.

We talked to one of America's leading auto experts on the issue.

Yeah, President Trump vowed to respond, and he didn't take long to follow through.

According to U.S.

Central Command, the U.S.

began to launch airstrikes against Iran at 5 p.m.

Eastern time yesterday.

Targets included Iranian air defense systems and radars.

Reports in Iranian state media made the attacks seem like they were concentrated along Iran's Persian Gulf coast.

CENTCOM called the strikes a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.

Now, for its part, Tehran has neither denied nor taken responsibility for the downed helicopter.

But Iran's foreign minister did post on X Yesterday that foreign forces in the region are at a constant risk on account of their own human errors, plane accidents, or potentially being caught in a crossfire.

President Trump was more blunt.

He said Iran was behind the downed Apache, and that, quote, "...the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack."
