Trump announces continued US military strikes against Iran after helicopter downed
President Trump stated the US would continue attacking Iran 'very hard' following US strikes on Tuesday that targeted Iranian air defense systems and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes were in response to Iran shooting down a US Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. Iran retaliated with missile attacks against bases hosting US forces in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.
