On social media platform X, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that US forces have begun conducting self-defense attacks against Iran on orders from President Donald Trump, emphasizing that this is a "proportionate response to Iran's unprovoked aggression."

CENTCOM said the two pilots on board the helicopter were rescued within about two hours of the crash near the coast of Oman.

According to Axios, citing a US official, Washington's airstrikes focused on Iranian radar and air defense systems in the area surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to weaken Tehran's surveillance and defense capabilities along this strategic waterway.

He also left open the possibility that the incident involving the US military helicopter was not intentional on Iran's part, given the constant risk of unintended incidents for foreign forces operating near Iranian territorial waters.

The incident occurred amidst a sensitive phase of US-Iran negotiations. According to the New York Times, the talks had narrowed down to four key nuclear issues: Washington's demand that Iran suspend uranium enrichment activities for at least 15 years; cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to dilute its enriched uranium stockpile; dismantle the three major nuclear facilities at Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan; and allow international inspections at any time and place in Iran.
