US Strikes Iran After Apache Downed

US military strikes Iran in retaliation for downing an Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz — a move Iran calls unjustified aggression. The pilots survived thanks to a sea drone rescue, marking a first. Tensions spike as peace talks stall: Israel and Iran were close to a ceasefire, but Iran warns of renewed hostilities if Israel continues targeting its allies. Human toll mounts — Iranian air defense personnel killed earlier this week, and at least eight dead in Israeli strikes on Tyre, Lebanon. The US says strikes were self-defense, but Iran confirms hits in Hormozgan. With the president pushing for peace, the region’s fragile truce feels increasingly fragile amid escalating violence and tangled alliances.
