The conflict has already disrupted the Strait of Hormuz, pushed up global energy prices and made essentials, including food, more expensive.<\/p> <p>US Central Command said fighter jets from the US Air Force and Navy struck Iranian \u201cair defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites\u201d. Iran acknowledged strikes around Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island but gave no details on damage. \u201cThe operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on US forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters,\u201d Central Command said.<\/p> <p>Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted the US Navy\u2019s 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain and a base hosting US troops in Kuwait with a drone. Missile alert sirens sounded in Bahrain, home to the 5th Fleet. Earlier, Donald Trump said Iran had shot down the helicopter during a patrol over the strait and that the US \u201cmust, of necessity, respond to this attack\u201d.<\/p> <p>A US official said the AH-64 Apache crashed after colliding with an Iranian drone, though it was unclear if the collision was intentional, and the investigation is continuing. US Central Command said two aviators were rescued about two hours later in what it described as the first known US military drone rescue at sea.<\/p> <p>Captain Tim Hawkins said a 24-foot Corsair vessel assigned to Navy Task Force 59 picked them up before a helicopter recovered them. Trump said both service members were \u201csafe and uninjured\u201d. Soon after Trump\u2019s accusation, Araghchi said the strait is \u201cthousands of miles away from US shores\u201d and wrote: \u201cTo reduce risk, the best solution is for them to leave.\u201d<\/p> <p>The downing of the helicopter came a day after Iran and Israel exchanged fire for the first time since the truce took effect. Iranian state television said Israeli strikes killed at least two members of Iran\u2019s air-defence units, while officials have still not turned the April ceasefire into a permanent deal as Israel expands its campaign in Lebanon against Hezbollah.<\/p> <p><em><strong>(With agency inputs)<\/strong><\/em><\/p> <\/div> <p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Abbas Araghchi, Iran war, US Iran war, Middle East, Iran conflict, US Iran conflict, Strait of Hormuz, Jordan air base, Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, Iranian air defences, US Central Command, Abbas Araghchi, Bahrain Fifth Fleet, AH-64 Apache crash, Qeshm Island#039Leave #Iran #you&#8230;039 #Tehran #warns #attack #Iranian #air #defences1781061966<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday issued a curt warning to the US forces to leave the Persian Gulf as soon as possible.
