The United States military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said it carried out “self-defence strikes” against Iran in response to what it said was the downing by Iranian forces of a US attack helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US had chosen to “test our determination” and the Iranian armed forces would “leave no attack or threat unanswered”, adding: “Leave our region if you want to be safe.”
