US and Iran trade strikes after helicopter downing
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
US Navy bases came under drone attack from Iran following American retaliation strikes on Iranian military facilities along the southern coastline. The escalation began after an Apache helicopter was shot down by an Iranian drone over the Strait of Hormuz, prompting US Central Command to launch what it described as proportional self-defence strikes against Iranian navy and army bases, radar facilities and command sites. Despite the exchange of fire, US officials remain hopeful that peace negotiations, which President Trump claimed were days away from completion, can still proceed.
