Day 102: Trump Says Iran Downed US Apache Near Hormuz; CENTCOM Launches Retaliatory Strikes on Air-Defense/Radar Sites
Trump said Iran shot down a US Army Apache helicopter patrolling the Strait of Hormuz; both aviators were rescued safely. Trump vowed a military response. CENTCOM began strikes hitting Iranian air-defense, ground-control, and surveillance-radar sites near Hormuz, calling it 'a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.' Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned 'foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk.'
