United States launches strikes against Iran after Apache incident

The United States launched a wave of airstrikes against military targets in Iran, following an incident involving a US Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. The Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that these retaliatory strikes, ordered by President Donald Trump, targeted nearly 20 Iranian military facilities, including air defense systems and ground control stations. President Trump described the operation as a "very strong response" and reportedly threatened further action, stating he would "bomb the shit out of Iran" if a proposed agreement is not reached, characterizing an earlier ceasefire as "the most violated in history." Tehran reportedly responded to the initial US actions, with both sides continuing to exchange strikes despite an April ceasefire.
