The US Central Command described the attacks as a proportional response to the alleged downing of an AH-64 Apache
The US said it has launched strikes in Iran in response to what it described as the downing of an American AH-64 Apache attack helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said President Donald Trump had ordered "self-defense strikes... in response to yesterday's downing of a US Army Apache helicopter."
"The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression," CENTCOM said in a statement on X.
Earlier on Tuesday, CENTCOM said the helicopter had crashed off the coast of Oman while patrolling the area and that its two pilots had been rescued.
