U.S. Central Command has just revealed the kind of retaliatory strikes used against Iran tonight after the IRGC attack that downed an Apache helicopter and nearly killed two pilots inside.
CENTCOM also revealed the self-defense mission is now over.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed self-defense strikes against Iran, June 9, at the Commander in Chief’s direction in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter.
CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.
U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression.
Fox News reports that 20 targets were hit, with some being on Qeshm Island. So I guess now they can get back to the negotiating table?
I liked this response…
If we fought World War II like this, we'd still be fighting it.
