US Central Command said the strikes came in response to an attack on a US military helicopter
US Central Command announced it launched strikes — described as “self-defense” measures — against targets inside Iran, in response to the downing of a US Apache attack helicopter during patrol operations in the Strait of Hormuz. 
These operations were part of a direct response to the incident that resulted in the helicopter being shot down. Further details on the nature of the targets or the scale of losses remained unclear, amid rising military tensions in the region in recent days.
US Central Command said in a post on X today, June 10, “this mission constitutes a proportionate response to Iran’s unjustified aggression.”
