The US and Iran have exchanged fire after President Donald Trump blamed Tehran for the downing of an American military helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.

The U.S. military says it has carried out strikes against Iran following the crash of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter off the coast of Oman that U.S. President Donald Trump blamed on the Islamic Republic.

President Trump said Iran has "taken too long" to negotiate a peace deal with the US, adding that "now they will have to pay the price."

The U.S. military said it struck Iranian sites at the direction of President Donald Trump after two helicopter crew members were rescued by a Navy sea drone — a first for the U.S. military, officials said.

U.S. ⁠President ⁠Donald Trump said on Wednesday ⁠that the United States will attack Iran if no peace deal is ​secured and that the U.S. military secretly escorted ships carrying more than 100 million barrels of oil out ‌of the Strait of Hormuz.

Central Command called the attack "a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression." The military did not elaborate on what targets were struck.
