According to U.S. officials, the Apache helicopter crashed after being hit by an Iranian drone. 

However, it remains unclear whether the aircraft was intentionally targeted. Iran has also responded. 

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it carried out missile and drone attacks against U.S. targets in the region. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any U.S. attack would be met with a response. 

Meanwhile, explosions have been reported in Sirik, Bandar Abbas, and Qeshm.

 Iranian state media says two water storage facilities were damaged.
