Iran Launches Missiles and Drones at US Forces After Retaliatory Strikes

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced it fired missiles and drones at US military sites in the region. The move came after Washington struck Iranian positions following the downing of a US Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. Explosions were heard around Sirik, coastal areas of Minab and Qeshm Island. Iranian officials later clarified that Minab city itself was not directly hit, with blasts originating offshore. The exchange has heightened fears of a wider Middle East confrontation. Observers warn any further escalation could disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and unsettle global oil markets.
