The United States carried out military strikes on Iran after President Donald Trump accused Tehran of being responsible for the downing of a US Army AH-64 Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. US Central Command described the attacks as a “proportional response” to Iranian aggression, while Iranian officials vowed retaliation. According to a US official, the helicopter crashed after colliding with an Iranian drone during a patrol mission near Oman, though investigators have not determined whether the collision was intentional. The incident further strained a fragile two-month ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm Island following the American strikes and condemned the action.
