The U.S. military launched "self defense" attacks against Iran on Tuesday evening in response to the downing of an American helicopter, officials said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned his country will retaliate against the U.S. strikes, stating "no attack or threat" will be left "unanswered."

"Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the U.S. opted to test our determination," Araghchi posted on X. "Our Powerful Armed Forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered.

Leave our region if you want to be safe."

The move comes after President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. would need to retaliate after an Apache helicopter was downed overnight near the Strait of Hormuz. The crew was successfully rescued and no one was harmed in the crash.
