Update:

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed additional self-defense strikes against multiple targets in Iran, June 10, at the Commander in Chief’s direction.

CENTCOM forces launched strikes on Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites across Iran. U.S. Marine Corps, Air Force, and Navy assets fired precision munitions on Iranian targets that posed a threat to U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression. U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and ready.

WATCH:

Earlier Wednesday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the strikes against Iran will be strong.

“We’ll strike ’em hard tonight, and hopefully Iran makes a good decision,” Hegseth said.

On Tuesday, the US Military launched strikes against Iran after the downing of an Apache helicopter.

Earlier Tuesday, Central Command announced that US Army crew were safely rescued after an Apache helicopter was lost at sea:

At 7:33 p.m. ET on June 8, two crew members from a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache were rescued by American forces after their helicopter went down near the coast of Oman while patrolling regional waters.

The Soldiers were safely rescued within approximately two hours and are in stable condition. The cause of the incident is under investigation.

Rescue efforts were led by U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, with support from U.S. Air Force and Navy units including U.S. 5th Fleet’s Task Force 59.

President Trump later confirmed that the two US pilots are safe and uninjured.

Later Tuesday, CENTCOM announced the US launched strikes against Iran.

“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET today at the Commander in Chief’s direction, in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression,” CENTCOM said.

Iran late Tuesday retaliated and fired dozens of missiles and drones toward 20 targets.
