UMVA has learned that a dramatic escalation of tensions between the US and Iran unfolded in the early hours of Tuesday, as the US Military launched a series of targeted strikes against Iranian targets.
The sudden military action came in response to the downing of a US Army AH-64 Apache helicopter, which was patrolling regional waters near the coast of Oman on June 8. Two crew members were safely rescued by American forces within approximately two hours and are in stable condition.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the rescue efforts were led by US Naval Forces Central Command and the 82nd Airborne Division, with support from US Air Force and Navy units. The incident sparked a swift response from the US, with President Trump vowing to take action.
The President took to social media to confirm that the two US pilots involved in the incident were safe and uninjured, but also made it clear that the US would not tolerate the attack. “I have just been informed by our Great Military that last night the Iranians shot down one of our highly sophisticated Apache Helicopters while patrolling over the Strait of Hormuz,” he said.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces began launching self-defense strikes against Iran at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday, at the Commander in Chief’s direction. The mission was described as a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression.
The sudden military action marks a significant escalation of tensions between the US and Iran, and raises questions about the potential for further conflict in the region. As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the US will not tolerate attacks on its military personnel.
