The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the completion of strikes against Iran in response to the incident involving the downing of an Apache helicopter, Oxu.Az reports.

"CENTCOM forces have completed self-defense strikes against Iran by order of the commander-in-chief in response to the downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter yesterday," the command said in a post on its X page.

The targets of the U.S. military strikes were Iranian radars, air defense systems, and ground control stations near the Strait of Hormuz, CENTCOM added.

"CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defenses, ground control stations, and radar posts near the Strait of Hormuz," the command said.

According to CENTCOM, the strikes were carried out "with precision munitions employed by U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter aircraft."

The United States has launched a second wave of strikes against Iran.

This was reported on X by Axios journalist Barak Ravid, citing a U.S. administration official.

According to his information, the U.S. is "carrying out a second wave of strikes on air defense systems and radars in Iran."

At the same time, Iranian media reported that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic will respond to the U.S. strikes in the near future. According to the Tasnim agency, the Iranian military will deliver a decisive response to the American attack carried out after the destruction of the helicopter.

U.S. forces are striking Iranian air defense systems and radar installations.

This was reported by Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin on X.

"A U.S. official told Fox: strikes on Iran are 'being carried out,' targets include air defenses and radar installations," she wrote.

Meanwhile, the Telegram channel "Free Iran," citing the Tasnim agency, reports that six explosions occurred on the Iranian islands of Qeshm and Sirik, as well as in the city of Minab. It is noted that Sirik, Qeshm Island, and some areas of Minab were attacked by U.S. fighter jets.

Iranian state television confirmed explosions in Qeshm and Sirik resulting from drone strikes but denied reports of explosions in Bandar Abbas and Minab.

The United States has begun striking Iran in response to the destruction of an American Apache helicopter.

This was announced by the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on X.

"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces today at 5:00 PM Eastern Time (01:00 on June 10, Baku time — ed.) by order of the commander-in-chief began conducting self-defense strikes against Iran in response to yesterday's destruction of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter," the post said.

The actions of the American military were a "proportionate response to unprovoked Iranian aggression," the command emphasized.

The day before, President Donald Trump promised on social network Truth Social that the U.S. would respond to Iran for the downing of a military helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz that was conducting a patrol. He specified that both pilots were unharmed and are currently safe. "Nevertheless, the United States is compelled, by necessity, to respond to this attack," Trump concluded.
