US strikes Iran over downed helicopter
The US military conducted strikes against Tehran after Iran shot down a US Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Two American aviators were rescued by a drone boat, marking a first for the US. The retaliation risks escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran, with a ceasefire already strained by prior Iran-Israel strikes.
