U.S. Air Force and Navy aircraft targeted “Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz,” U.S. Central Command said, in what it called “a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.”<\/p>\n

The strikes were completed by Tuesday evening Eastern Time.<\/p>\n

“U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression,” CENTCOM wrote.<\/p>\n

President Trump vowed to retaliate after claiming Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter patrolling near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.<\/p>\n

“There were two pilots involved. Both are safe and uninjured,” Trump said in a post about their rescue.<\/p>\n

Administration officials said the helicopter collided with an Iranian drone. It was not immediately clear whether the collision was intentional on Iran’s part. <\/p>\n

“Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” President Trump wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

The incident has put more strain on a two-month old ceasefire, which was tested earlier on Monday when Iran reportedly struck targets in Israel, and Israel made new strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon. It was the first such exchange in two months.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the White House has repeatedly signaled a deal to permanently end the conflict is close.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a good chance\u201d of signing a deal in \u201ctwo or three days,” President Trump said on Monday.<\/p>\n

But Iranian representatives have said the actions of the U.S. and President Trump indicate the U.S. is \u201cneither seeking a ceasefire nor dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n
