CENTCOM said Air Force and Navy jets began 'self-defense strikes' at 5 p.m. ET on Iranian air defence, ground control and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, calling them a proportional response to the Apache's downing and to attacks on shipping, and declared them completed about four hours later. Iranian media reported explosions in Sirik, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm, Jask and Minab across second and third waves, and Fars said two water tanks in Sirik's Bemani district were destroyed.
Why it matters
U.S. officials described the strikes as limited, but Iran answered within hours with drone and missile attacks aimed at U.S. bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
