On June 10, CNN reported that a U.S. official stated that the latest round of strikes by the U.S. military is intended to send a warning signal to Iran, and the U.S. believes these strikes will not hinder negotiations aimed at ending the war. The U.S. Central Command described it in a statement as a 'proportional response to Iran's unprovoked aggression.' A source familiar with the situation indicated that an Iranian drone had previously struck a U.S. military helicopter. However, a U.S. official noted that it is still unclear whether the drone intentionally targeted the Apache helicopter or accidentally shot it down.
