U.S. and Iran trade strikes after reported downing of helicopter
The US launched strikes against Iran on Tuesday, June 9, after Washington said Tehran shot down a US helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz.
No U.S. warships have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, after Iran’s state media said initial reports indicated U.S. ships near the strait were targeted by missile and drones launched by Iranian armed forces.
Commercial ships also continue to transit in and out of the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Central Command said in a separate post on X after Iran’s top joint military command said the strait was closed for the passage of any vessels.
