U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that the U.S. military has launched “self-defense strikes against Iran” in retaliation for the downing of an American helicopter on the orders of President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, CENTCOM released a statement on social medi confirming the strikes.
“This is a response to what they did…with our helicopter last night, and I believe the response should be very strong, very powerful, and that’s what this one is,” Trump told ABC News.
Both crew members of the downed helicopter were safely rescued hours after the crash, the president and CENTCOM confirmed.
