US confirms nearly 20 targets hit in Iran retaliatory strikes

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the completion of retaliatory airstrikes against Iranian military targets, stating that nearly 20 objectives were hit following the Apache helicopter incident.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the completion of retaliatory airstrikes against Iranian military targets, stating that nearly 20 objectives were hit. These strikes, which included air defense systems and ground control stations, followed the reported downing or damage of a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump described the operation as a "very strong response." Despite these escalating military actions, reports citing a senior White House official indicate President Trump continues to believe a peace agreement with Iran is nearing. In turn, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had launched drones and missiles towards American facilities in the region. The two pilots aboard the Apache helicopter were reported unharmed.
