Iran 'Will Leave No Attack or Threat Unanswered,' Its Top Diplomat Says as US Carries Out Strikes After Helicopter Crash
CENTCOM said the strikes were a proportional response after Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
- Central Command launched a second wave of strikes against Iranian military assets near the Strait of Hormuz overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday, following Monday's loss of an American AH-64 Apache helicopter.
- CENTCOM described the operation as a "proportional response" to the helicopter downing, with American Air Force and Navy fighter jets targeting Iranian air-defense systems, ground-control stations, and surveillance radar sites.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck 21 American military targets, including the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, Salem Air Base in Kuwait, and the Al-Azraq area in Jordan.

- While The IRGC claimed successful hits on hangars housing F-35 fighter jets, American officials confirmed launching operations but noted no immediate independent confirmation that Iranian projectiles struck American personnel or facilities.
