Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned America on Wednesday (June 10) that it should leave the Persian Gulf region for its own security. He said that Iran’s military will respond to any attack or threat and also said that outsiders intruding into the Persian Gulf have had to face serious consequences in history. Araghchi posted on X that despite the defeat on the battlefield, America decided to test our resolve. Our powerful army will give a befitting reply to any attack or threat. If you want to be safe then leave our area.

This statement of Iran has come when the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that the US Army has started attacks against Iran in self-defense. This action has been taken in response to Iran’s unjustified aggression after the US Army shot down an Apache helicopter. CENTCOM said that these attacks were carried out on the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief as an appropriate response to that incident.

Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the US opted to test our determination.

Our Powerful Armed Forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered.

Leave our region if you want to be safe.

What did the American Army tell?
US Central Command posted on Twitter on Tuesday that US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces, on the instructions of the Commander-in-Chief, launched self-defense strikes against Iran in response to the downing of a US Army Apache helicopter yesterday. This mission is the perfect answer to Iran’s aggression.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump had said that an American Apache helicopter patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz was shot down in the Iranian attack. He said both pilots were safe and without any injuries and warned that Washington would respond to the attack.

What did Donald Trump say?
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that I have just received information from our great military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our very advanced Apache helicopters while patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. Two pilots were involved in this. Both are safe and there is no injury. Still, America will have to respond to this attack.
