Retaliatory airstrikes hit Iranian air defense and radar sites following the downing of a US Apache helicopter near Oman.
US forces conducted retaliatory strikes against Iranian military targets, including air defense sites and radar facilities, under President Trump’s direction. The operation responds to the downing of a US AH-64 Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
Officials described the strikes as a proportional self-defense measure against what they termed “unprovoked Iranian aggression.” The action follows recent remarks by Trump suggesting US-Iran peace talks were nearing a potential agreement within days.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but geopolitical tensions in the region may influence oil prices and risk assets.
