US launches a second straight day of airstrikes in Iran
U.S. forces conducted a second consecutive day of airstrikes in Iran, targeting defense and radar facilities near the Strait of Hormuz and drone command sites. The action followed Iran's downing of an Apache helicopter, with President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth advocating for military response. The strikes are part of an ongoing conflict over Iran's nuclear program and regional tensions.
