U.S. Central Command said Tuesday evening that it conducted "self-defense strikes" on Iran in response to the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter on Monday. President Trump said Iranians had shot down the helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz.

U.S. Central Command said it went after “multiple targets” after the president said Tehran would “pay the price” for not making a deal.

The president has sporadically threatened additional military action since taking out Iran’s leadership in February, but has avoided full-scale attacks.

President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday that he is canceling the strikes and bombings against Iran for this evening. CNN’s Kristen Holmes reports.

The president’s post marked his most serious threat against Iran since before the two sides agreed to a ceasefire in April.

President Trump said Iran has "taken too long" to negotiate a peace deal with the US, adding that "now they will have to pay the price."

The U.S. military said it struck Iranian sites at the direction of President Donald Trump after two helicopter crew members were rescued by a Navy sea drone — a first for the U.S. military, officials said.
