US launches retaliatory strikes on Iran, Tehran responds amidst Trump's threats

The US Central Command initiated retaliatory airstrikes on nearly 20 Iranian military targets after an Apache helicopter incident. Tehran reportedly responded, while President Trump threatened further action.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed it initiated a wave of retaliatory airstrikes against nearly 20 Iranian military targets, including air defense systems and ground control stations. These actions, ordered by President Donald Trump, followed the reported downing or damage of a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz and broader attacks on American forces. Following the US strikes, Tehran reportedly responded. President Trump characterized the operation as a "very strong response," and threatened "very strong" additional strikes if a peace agreement is not reached. He also asserted the US is "exporting millions of barrels of oil" from Iran.
