U.S. Central Command said early Tuesday that its overnight strikes on Iranian air defense, radar, and command sites near the Strait of Hormuz have concluded. The operation was a response to the downing of an Apache helicopter. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones targeting American assets across the Middle East, claiming hits on the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a U.S. military base in Jordan. The veracity of Iran's claims remains unverified.
