US forces conduct second night of strikes against Iran

US forces conducted a second consecutive night of airstrikes against targets in Iran from June 10-11, following an initial wave of retaliatory strikes. The Central Command (CENTCOM) stated these additional "self-defense strikes" were ordered by the commander-in-chief and were a response to "Iran's ongoing unjustified aggression." The initial strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump, targeted nearly 20 Iranian military facilities, including air defense systems and ground control stations, after a US Apache helicopter was reportedly downed or damaged near the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump characterized the operation as a "very strong response" and warned of further "very strong" strikes if a peace agreement is not reached. Tehran reportedly responded to the initial US actions.
