The operation, involving Tomahawk cruise missiles and carrier-based aircraft, targeted facilities in Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Gurak. President Trump stated the strikes were a response to the downing of a US Apache helicopter and warned of further actions targeting Kharg Island unless diplomatic concessions are made.
