Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated dramatically after Tehran claimed responsibility for a strike on the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The reported attack came shortly after CENTCOM launched strikes on Iranian military targets following the loss of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.
