The ongoing talks regarding a peace agreement between the US and Iran seem to be on the back burner. After the American helicopter Apache was shot down, attacks between America and Tehran have started once again. US carried out air strikes with fighter jets on many cities of Iran from Qeshm to Isfahan. Tehran has also retaliated against these attacks. IRGC has claimed that it has attacked the headquarters of America’s Fifth (5th) Fleet in Bahrain.

Trump had warned of retaliatory attack
US President Donald Trump told ABC News after the operation began that the attacks were ‘very tremendous and very powerful’. According to CENTCOM, these attacks were launched on the orders of the President at 5 pm (local time) on June 9. Earlier on Tuesday, Trump had alleged that Iran has shot down a US Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz and America will respond to it.
He wrote in a post on ‘Truth Social’, I have just received information that last night the Iranians shot down our very advanced Apache helicopter while it was patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said that both pilots aboard the helicopter were safe and were not injured. He also said, ‘Nevertheless, it is necessary for America to respond to this attack. The helicopter crashed, but both crew members were saved. The situation remains very delicate.
