U.S. forces struck Iranian targets for a second consecutive night, with Central Command saying it hit air-defense, communications and surveillance sites and a Navy destroyer launching cruise missiles. The strikes followed the downing of an Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
Iran fired back at Gulf states and Jordan, and U.S. defenses intercepted incoming missiles with no reported damage.
Commanders denied Tehran's claim that it had shut the strait and hit a warship. President Trump warned Iran would pay the price for stalling peace talks.
