U.S. Strikes Back at Iran After Helicopter Shootdown

U.S. forces strike back at Iran after it shot down an Apache helicopter, marking a direct retaliation for what officials call unprovoked aggression. President Trump confirmed the pilots were safe and vowed response, even as the Pentagon insists a ceasefire remains in effect under Operation Epic Fury. Tensions spiked again Monday when U.S. forces targeted an oil tanker allegedly violating a blockade near the Strait of Hormuz — a chokepoint for global oil. The helicopter crash, off Oman’s coast, is still under investigation, but pilots were rescued within hours by a multi-service effort. Despite claims the war is over, the region remains dangerously volatile with major global economic stakes hanging in the balance.
