US launches airstrikes on Iran after Trump blames Tehran for US Army helicopter crash

The US military launched airstrikes on Iran after President Donald Trump blamed Tehran for an Army helicopter crash near the Strait of Hormuz, sparking a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations amid ongoing disputes over maritime security and alleged Iranian aggression. The strikes targeted what the US military described as 'irresponsible' Iranian behavior in the region. Iran's state-run news agency reported that it was hit by missiles fired from US warships in the Gulf. The incident has raised concerns of a wider conflict between the two nations.
