Tensions in the Middle East ramped up again on Tuesday evening, after U.S. forces launched strikes against Iran 'in response to yesterday's downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter,' U.S. Central Command said.
President Donald Trump had earlier accused Iran of shooting down the helicopter, which he said was patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz.
